Firefox update

[BruceM]

It seems to me that you can search the net for installers of previous (within reason) versions of Firefox if you want to go back a version or two. To a great extent, you can change the way Firefox looks by downloading & installing different themes. The same goes for the Thunderbird e-mail client.

Firebox and Windows 10

I seems to have to clear internet temp files and reboot a lot when it starts slowing down. I have to do this once a day.or two.

 

[JohnRippert]

It is faster for me and I like the new look.

I had a problem last night where FF just hung. It wouldn't do anything. I had three tabs open with nothing going on in two of them.

I have FF & got some sort of a down load last night. These things normally happen on Wednesday! To be honest I do not know what downloaded.

With my lack of computer skills, at this moment I see nothing different except it does appear to be a little faster!

I have reverted back to v54.0 and have auto updates turned off.

With new versions I had issues with my add ons and VPN.

Take a look at the tabs on top. Rounded corners is the old version, a rectangle block with sharp corners is the new version.

Thanks as of now I still have round. Like I said I'm not too computer literate and I do not know what down loaded last night. It could have been the computer company, my protection (AVG) or FF. Sometimes I get a pop up that says what downloaded sometimes not. Lets see what the future will bring!

My DIL is sharp and will be here for Thanksgiving I will let her look at it. (she is my go to computer person)

I knew that this version of FF was coming so I made certain that the add-ons I need would work with the new version before I updated it. So far so good. Chrome, on the other hand, crashed and I had to uninstall it. I'll stick with FF.

 

[Jack222]

I dont know if I like it. When I go to the bookmarks, they are not all there. I have to go 2 more steps to get to some of them. I notice no change in speed but this is a 4 year old PC>

 

[Jack222]

I got it figured out now. Bookmarks are back to where I can find them.
PS I am PC challenged.

 

[TX-Dennis]

It seems faster to me, and it will load pages that the previous version wouldn't. I had to open Chrome to look at certain sites with the old version because they just wouldn't load correctly in Firefox. I haven't had that issue since the update. Still don't like the square tabs and dark theme, but I'll get used to it.

My FF updated last night, most of my bookmarks are gone, many added that I don't know. It's gonna take some time to unscrew this mess. Takes extra clicks to get to the new bookmark list. I don't think I like this. I may go back to IE if this doesn't get better and I can't figure out how to revert to the old FF. Maybe my 10yo neighbor kid can fix it.

I had the same problem. Tell it to display bookmarks in toolbar and it will be like it was.

Mine just updated this morning, and so far no problems. My same toolbar, you do have to go through 2 steps to get your bookmarks, but it is all there. Much faster. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[Cardboard_killer]

I use firefox and opera out of my disgust for MS and Google and Apple. Sometimes I wonder if I should go back to Lynx

 

[DWalt]

As I earlier stated, after the FF update which didn't work well for me at all, I switched to Opera, which had previously been my standby browser. After using it for a full day, I am satisfied enough with Opera to keep it as my primary. I may roll back FF to an earlier version, but no real hurry as Opera seems to be doing the job well and the add-ons are OK.

I had the same problem. Tell it to display bookmarks in toolbar and it will be like it was.

I found my old favorites list, now it takes me 4 clicks to get there instead of 1. I don't know if I'll get used to this.

I tried displaying them in the tool bar but I have 88 items on my favorites list and that didn't work.

 

[JayCeeNC]

I updated this morning.
Didn't lose any bookmarks or anything else.
Speed? Just...wow! compared to the last version on my somewhat slow laptop.

 

[DWalt]

I deleted FF v.57 and went back to v.56.0.2. FF v.56 seems to work fine for now, as good as it ever did, and my add-on preferences were still there. I guess my laptop is allergic to FF v.57. I also set my FF user preferences to NOT do any more FF updates.
