I made the switch recently; performance is better and I haven't found a downside.

I just updated to version 56.0.1 32 bits. Did it over the top to make sure my installation would not get migrated to 64 bits. It was successful.

Checking in FF 56.0 64-bit says I'm up to date. v56.0.2 soon?

 

Ah, again. That old chestnut gets me every time.

Thanks JR.

I wonder if FF 56.0 64-bit users will even receive 56.0.1. It seems the main change is to upgrade 32-bit users to the 64-bit version, or am I missing something?

 

There are 64 bit standalone installers for 56.0.1 - see here:

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0.1/win64/en-US/

 

1st: ftp.mozilla.org do NOT exist - it is archive.mozilla.org

2nd: 56.0.1 is available here in 32/64 bit
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

the staged roleout is for reason to see how it is performing.
gorhill is doing same with ublock.

grow up!

 

"https://ftp.mozilla.org" and "https://archive.mozilla.org/" both resolve properly to the archive server.

In answer to Krusty's question I referenced the archive server simply because it confirms at a glance that 64 bit 56.0.1 installers exist which likely means all versions of Firefox will eventually be updated to that version. I understand the purpose of the staged role out, thanks.

 

just a heads up go into privacy and security, scroll down and untick both: allow firefox to auto send tech data allow firefox to install and run studies. see my thread safe browsing version 4(temp add-on). you do not want this. cannot play vids from dark side or who knows from where else.

 

jr didn"t mean to sound like i was directing this to you, just trying to make a general observation. i never paid any attention to these settings and now i'm paying the price. i don't like that firefox doesn't give you a way to opt out of this. maybe disable all thier protections? is this whats coming inff57? thanks for your help .

 

FF is still saying v56.0 is up to date here.
