Thanks for advising, JRViejo; will update current PortableApps package now!

 

For those that are newly seeing the Mozilla Maintenance Service as described here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-mozilla-maintenance-service

May safely remove the software (or) in an advanced user situation:
Disable the Windows Service as per the screen capture.

 

Firefox 33.1 released and available through the internal updater.

I recommend that anyone who likes the new Forget button take a look at Clear Recent History extension.

 

What I didn't like about it is that it wants to clear the cookies, well there are many that I don't want to be cleared otherwise I will have to relogin on all the sites I often visit.....

Firefox: Choose Independent

 

Many are tired of the unrelenting releases of this software from Mozilla. Many are looking at the ESR version in lieu.

 

Those running the latest version should probably avoid the alternate DuckDuckGo search engine option as it phones home your query information.

 

A reminder as well, Wikipedia does not present a fair and balanced privacy report for DuckDuckGo.

Some are updating the Browser but disabling these new offerings from Mozilla.

 

Can you link to what you feel is a fair report of DuckDuckGo?

 

As time permits, I will. These comments were not meant to read as disparaging toward Mozilla, it's growing trend. I know of many devout Firefox users that have gone to Pale Moon.

 

As time permits I will bring them to the table here.

I don't like many of this new features or buttons in Firefox but as long as I can change things around and I am able to use NoScript, I am not moving away from Firefox. And as a Sandboxie user, it is important that my browser works great under Sandboxie and Firefox does. I read people complaining about Chrome or Opera having this issue or that issue with Sandboxie but that's not the case with Firefox. Switching from Firefox? not me.

"Data collection is limited to the aggregate number of impressions, clicks and Tile placement. Nothing is ever personally identifiable. In other words, we don’t know who clicks on what. We just know the total number of views and clicks an individual Tile receive"

"No data is collected when a user chooses to opt out of the enhanced Tiles experience."
