Firefox problem.

Ive updated firefox to version 16.0.0 and now i cant open the main firefox tab in the left hand corner at all.
Has anybody else encountered this weirdness?

 

Download and install Firefox 16.0.1 and see if your issue is resolved.

 

I must apologise that is the version i have .As i say i cannot get into the tab at all and ive uninstalled firefox and may install again at some point.

 

In that case, revert to Firefox 15 and you may want to wait for a future FF update to resolve the issue.

 

The updates are being released far too quickly.version 17 is in beta already
Its odd because i was using 16.0.1 only yesterday with no problems and it was faster than v15 but i restored an image this morning and now firefox will not open.
Strange.

 

Hi gerard.
Yes firefox was fully up to date.

 

i had a similar problem uninstalled and ccleaned
reinstalled 16.1 now it works fine

 

Ive given up with firefox now because i dont want this hassle everytime i upgrade it.and the upgrades are coming out thick and fast.
Im now using comodo dragon which has a far better update process and none of the hassle.

 

i've been using firefox for years and this was the first time a problem occurred i'll stick with it unless it keeps happening

 

it is the best browser by far but the updates are insane.

 

ive reinstalled firefox and the problem is solved.it was the theme not working correctly.

 

FWIW in the past I was 98% FF and 2 % IE.

Now with the improved security on IE9 64 bit W7 hardened up it is reversed for me 98% IE9. Inside sandboxie.

With the massive and frequent updates to FF and Googles ill advised privacy policy changes (IMHO of course) I don't update FF if I can avoid it.

I'm on version 12. I hate the forced update crap they foist on me. The arrogancy of vendors never ceases to amaze me.

 

Drop it like a hat.

 

""it is the best browser by far but the updates are insane""

That's the reason I left it a long time ago
and went to Pale Moon

 

I notice version 17 is in beta format already.!

 

Yep, that's beta 1 followed by a new beta weekly and the final planned for november 20

 

heh heh did you mean hat or bat?

 

Does anybody here at Wilder's actually KNOW why Firefox is in this constant updates/ change change change mode/constant churning mode business model?

They must have been taken over by the inmates from Marketing U.

 

Either one will do but bat does sound better.
I know its a good browser but they need to take it down a notch or two.Rushing updates IMO just brings bugs and possible security holes.

 

Actually Firefox/Thunderbird updates are pushed out by a Windows service called "maintenance.exe". It updates silently in the background. You can either turn off the service or install a Firefox ESR version if you only want security updates and not the latest versions of Mozilla software.

 

I dont mind the updates so much but with every update i have to go through the rigmaroll of reinstalling my themes and extensions all the time.

 

Sorry I reviewed the windows services W7 64 bit and I have no such service?

 

Maybe Mozilla wants to keep up with Chrome

 

No. It works fine!

 

Web is changing fast and they need to keep up.
