Firefox update

[JcMack]

Firefox auto updated my PC this A.M.. New layout and it's pretty different. Lost use of some add ons they won't support with new VER 57. One add on I use all the time was gone. I reverted back to VER 56 for now and turned off auto update. That is all, over and out.

How do you revert back? I don't like the new version either.

I'm still trying to figure out XP.

The constant updates are really annoying.

I used to use Firefox, but I've been using Chrome for a while now. I was reading about the new Firefox last night, and thought I'd give it a try...mistake. Took me a while to get my laptop straightened out again. I'm staying with Chrome.

It's under Help (top of screen) - Firefox help - Install and update - Install older version of Firefox. Be sure to turn off auto update or it will go to new version again.

BE CAREFUL
Reverting back Firefox worked for me but I have many Hard drive backups in case it failed.

ive been using firefox for a few years and have not notice any difference so far.....

Thanks guys. As mine had not updated yet I turned off "automatic updates". Other than the old add-on's not being supported, what is so bad about Ver. 57? hardcase60

I just installed the new version this AM on my other computer. Top tool bar is a little different as far as layout, but my bookmarks, history, etc. are seem to be the same. Main thing they claim is faster speed - still not too sure just HOW much faster......

This was a voluntary update. Now the WINDOWS ones drive me nuts, because they never tell you WHAT they are updating, what they are supposed to do, and it gets to the point where it will do it whether you want it or not.

I updated Firefox yesterday and so far I have no complaints. It is actually so much faster than the previous version. The pages look cleaner and load instantly. I am using a Mac, but it is also working great on my Windows PC....still running XP!

Here is a link to what's new:

I just updated mine and it is noticeably faster.

Thanks for that.

I haven't had any problems..

....but I don't like the way it looks. Maybe there's some format/layout settings in there.

I updated mine and it seems to work fine. And seems to be faster. It has ugly square tabs but that's not a big deal. And it moved some tool bar things around to look more like chrome. I had to reset some options.

 

[TX-Dennis]

It is UGLY, but it seems to work fine.

It got me Monday night.

I just got the Firefox update. It now seems much slower than it was, so I guess I won't like it going forward. I just upgraded Opera to be my new primary browser (it had been my backup secondary browser). It is far faster and has all the add-ons I need (including the Photobucket Fixer I mentioned earlier).

I'll periodically check on Firefox to see if anything changes. I hope it doesn't resent my demoting it. I have used it without problems for many years until today.

 

[DWalt]

I tried disabling all my Firefox add-ons, and it didn't really help the sticky speed problem. I may try wiping Firefox and reloading it to see if that helps. I also have Chrome as a backup browser, but very seldom use it. After having a browser failure many years ago (I think it was IE), I learned the value of having a backup browser or two on my desktop.

As Opera seems to be doing the job just fine at present, I'll stay with it.

No automatic updates for me on anything. I'll wait for certain of the add-ons I use to become FF 57 friendly before I update.

Just updated mine today. Definitely faster than before.
Works well so far with no issues.
