Firefox 20.0 Final

Firefox 20.0 crashes minimum three times a day on Windows 7 and Windows 8
computers.

 

I'm running windows 7 home premium without problem. What version of windows 7 and Windows 8 are you having problems with? Also what kind of activity are you doing with your browser at the time of crash? Flash content, etc.

 

Perhaps you are aware of the following, forgive if so. I downloaded something last week (with Cyberfox) and noticed the minutes (only digits) counting down up in the menu bar.

 

Clearing download history wouldn't make sense if you disabled it (there would be nothing to clear). Also I already set browser.download.manager.retention to 1.

 

I've disabled hardware acceleration as well as crash reporting. This has helped the overall stability of the Browser in my situation.

 

I hate the new download toolbar as I have to click it all the time to see the progress of my download. I think FF copied this from Safari (looks almost the same!). I expected something better with the beginning of version 20; it turns out to be a big disappointment!

 

I'm running 64-bit Win7 home premium and Win8 Pro.
Firefox crashed right now when I was typing this comment. I've forwarded the crash report to Mozilla.

 

It crashed for me also few times.I had adobe acrobat addon(create pdf). after i disabled it it didn't crashed.

 

That's interesting, we both have 64-bit Win 7 Home premium. Hmm, I wonder if this has to do with how our browsers are configured. I haven't had trouble installing or running Firefox on any of our computers. We are running 32- and 64-bit versions of Vista and Seven. I've got an online midterm this week, so hopefully these issues don't catch up to me during the test.

 

I have the following Add-ons:
NoScript, NoTrace, HTTPS-Everywhere, Click&Clean, NoSquint.

Download how to. May have been explained but if not.

 

20.0.1 Final is on Majorgeeks now: http://majorgeeks.com/Mozilla_Firefox_20.0.1_Final_d8146.html

 

You were right! It was a NoSquint issue and a recent update to the add-on has fixed it.

 

Just upgraded! Cyberfox will probably release its update around the same time as Mozilla goes live with the final version on its site.

 

Firefox 20.01 Final

Major Geeks posted it already:

Now waiting for Cyberfox to release the x64 build.

They needed to fix some compatibility and security issues!

 

Re: Firefox 20.01 Final

Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to check it via manual update.

 

Re: Firefox 20.01 Final

i am waiting for it the official channels to update.

i just done my monthly maintenance thing with the Patch Tuesday updates and updating all other software and applications.

just waiting for the 20.01 final to save a disk image.

 

Strange, this update did not break that add-on (Download Statusbar). It is working just fine here.

 

Download FX 20.0.1 in your language:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

Release notes:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/20.0.1/releasenotes/

 

just got mine on Windows only minutes ago through Firefox own updater.

if you are on Linux you can expect a lag of up to a day and a half on average.

 

and...Mobile:
FIXED - 20.0.1 update to fix ANR hangs and DB-lock related crashes on older devices
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/20.0.1/releasenotes/

 

It looks like FF 20.0.1 is a Windows ONLY fix, i.e. those of us whom use Linux need not bother.

Also, with regard to chrisretusn's suggestion to use Download Status Bar, I use it with no problem - probably because it is also is with the Linux version of FF.
