I am often away from my computer for weeks at a time, digging at archaeology sites, before I return to clean, sort, and catalog my finds. And every time I launch my browser of choice, I have to sit through yet another Firefox update.
Sometime's it's a major update, like Firefox 3.6 for instance, but more often than not—too often—it's some stupid little tertiary update that requires Firefox to download… (læs mere)
Sometime's it's a major update, like Firefox 3.6 for instance, but more often than not—too often—it's some stupid little tertiary update that requires Firefox to download, quit, root around on the hard drive, and restart with a whole damn brand-new binary. Why?!
Just once I'd like to sit down, boot up, and get to work instead of wading through this slow, irritating process that the Mozilla developers subject me to.
I've become envious of my friends who run Safari, Apple's home-grown browser, which is updated less frequently. If they want more frequent updates, they download and install WebKit, but can otherwise continue on day after day without interruption in Safari.
I like this model, as it lets busy people like me get more work done, so I am thinking of purchasing a Mac. Really, anything to get me away from the time-wasting wreck of a browser that Firefox has become is a good idea.
The Firefox model crashes and burns its users. Literally, too, when you think about all of its other addling bugs and design flaws that crash the browser and burn countless CPU cycles.
So until I can see the web in a whole new way with Safari on a new Mac, it'll be another day, another Firefox update.
Thanks a lot for nothing, Mozilla.

How do I edit a list of ALL my bookmarks, not just recent ones?
The Organize Bookmarks menu no longer offers me a simple list of all my active bookmarks, so I can delete ones I no longer use. Or am I missing something?

I tried clicking on Amazon's site identification icon>Then More Info button>Then Media tab. I noticed that images labeled "embedded" showed the same broken image signal I get when I view Amazon's web page. Those labeled "Image" showed a small picture; not a broken one.

Add-on installation fails in one of the following ways:
1. Unexpected installation error -203, or 2. The add-on appears in the "Extensions" tab as "Not compatible with Firefox 3.6.3", even though it is.
Sometimes I get the first error, sometimes the second, but all attempts to install add-ons fail with one of them.
I have tried all the troubleshooting advice in the knowledge bases (e.g. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions_-_Firefox#Unexpected_installation_error_-203) but with no success. I even did a clean reinstall of Firefox in a new directory (as described here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox#On_Mac_OS_X) but the problem remains.
What else can I do?

I have many screens open with many tabs. FF Pull down "Window" only lists the 1 tab active on each window. I have to go to that window to read & find all my other tabs on it. Example: I have a tab with an audio open among others on one of many similar windows. Suddenly it starts audio and I want to quickly silence it. But I can't find it until I search each individual window. Surely someone has been thusly plagued and has a solution. You will be thanked.
