Firefox Support Forum

Hi, I love Firefox. Until the day a new version is released. I download the new version and faithfully decide to restart both Windows and Firefox. Only to slap myself a second later for not BACKING UP MY TABS, crossing fingers and crying while restarting Firefox TELLING MYSELF that "No, Jo, THIS TIME they have had fixed it and all the tabs will STILL BE THERE, Firefox employs some intelligent coders, YOUR TABS AND HISTORY ARE SAFE, Jo!

but no :'(

This happens... EVERY time. Can you add a few lines of code to prompt me to save the current session BEFORE restarting the browser post-update??? Please? I beg you?

Thanks, Jo

In light of Mozilla's censorious decision to create the Mozilla Information Trust Initiative, a thinly veiled attempt to control information and user experience online, I will no longer be using your browser.

The fact that you have made it near impossible to communicate directly to your company (hence this roundabout support ticket in lieu of a simple email) adds to frustration with your company, as well as the increasing slowness and dysfunction of the browser.

You have betrayed my trust, your company has become arrogant and untrustworthy, and so I will be switching to an upstart competitor.

Good luck.

Sirs and Mesdames:

Stop using the word "awesome". It means nothing, More nothing than if you used the work lovely or cool or gnarly or 23Skidoo. or PURR-fect. It is kitsch, it is like washing your face with sandpaper.

Then we come to (It's all very technical.) That's supposed to be cute and funny? It's not. What is says is you USERS are too stupid to ascend to these lofty levels so we'll keep it to ourselves.

I don't have a week to devote to learning all about something new. Firefox has always been crazy with updates every three hours that change all your settings so you have to re-do them. Now I can't find how to add something to favorites. I am sorry, I am busy and do not have time to read a book about your browser just to "learn how" to do things on it. Yoo hoo--- people in business DO NOT USE THEIR PHONES FOR EVERYTHING. So if this is primarily a phone or tablet browser, just say so and I will just uninstall it and quit being frustrated. Why have you kept changing and changing it until it is unusable? This is why people don't like it any more--- not because it isn't "phone friendly'! Get a clue! Hire someone over 13 who has actually some experience running a business to see what business people want in a browser and fix it!

Even after years of instability and slowness, I stuck with it. Then, finally, they did a major upgrade that seemed to fix the problems. Of course the one extension - Session Manager - that was the main reason I used Firefox, no longer worked. Yet still I stayed, and every time it said to update, I did. Now it's worse than it ever was. It is excruciatingly slow, and completely unstable, and I have had it. I hate Chrome, but it works, and, if I have to use some second-rate session manager, it may as well be under Chrome.

Just ... fed ... up!

IF U DONT UPDATE FIREFOX, EVENTUALLY IT MAKES ITSELF IMPOSSIBLE TO USE UNTIL U UPDATE LIKE GOOD LITTLE BOYS AND GIRLS THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT FIREFOX DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE CRUSHING BLOW IT LANDS ON THE HEADS OF THOUSANDS OF FAITHFUL AND LOYAL FIREFOX USERS. THIS BEING SAID, IN ORDER TO PUT MY QUESTION IN CONTEXT, IS AS FOLLOWS: FAST DIAL AND QUICKFOX NOTES ARE MY LIFE; UNFORTUNATELY, FIREFOX IS THE ONLY BROWSER THAT I WANT TO USE. SO I AM STUCK WITH HAVING A BROWSER THAT RIPS AWAY THE VERY FOUNDATION OF MY LIFE ON MY COMPUTER. FAST DIAL IS REPLACEABLE; I DONT LIKE ALL THE OTHER 'FAST DIAL WANNABEES' BUT THEY ARE ADEQUATE. QUICKFOX NOTES IS ANOTHER MATTER ENTIRELY: NOT ONE OF THE HUNDREDS OF 'NOTES' [AND IT SEEMS I HAVE TRIED EVERY ONE] THAT ALL SHOUT ABOUT THEIR GREAT FEATURES AND EASE OF USE, [NOT ONE] COME ANYWHERE CLOSE TO SERVING AS AN ADEQUATE REPLACEMENT FOR QUICKFOX NOTES [EXCEPT ONE]. SO WE COME TO MY WOE, BECAUSE THE ONLY REPLACEMENT I WANT FOR QUICKFOX IS "OPENOTE"!!! NO, I DID NOT SAY ONENOTE" AND THERES THE RUB. I HAVE SPENT HOURS SEARCHING AND GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES TRYING TO FIND OPENOTE THE SECOND TIME. I HAD IT BUT I LOST IT AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ENUF COMPUTER TALK IN ORDER TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO GET IT BACK FROM MY COMPUTER WHERE IT HAS HIDDEN IT FROM ME. PLEASE HELP. AND THANK U VERY MUCH FOR READING MY TALE OF WOE.

If I use autofill, I have no problem (I double click in a field and get the 2 profile choices I have set up, click on one and then the form fills). But if I have to manually type into a profile field on any site Firefox creates a new autofill profile. I have to go into settings to delete the extras. There should be an option for "create new profiles automatically" that I can turn on or off.

This is a notification for developers, not looking for answers. I can totally tell there is something wrong with the new version. Win 7 both PC's.

Latest version 60.0.1 loaded on two separate PC's. I'm at work using PC #1 and the web mail for work. Things are acting weird. If I reply to an email, the "forwarded" part is MIA. If I in turn leave this pop out applet I get an "Leave this page / stay on this page" type applet. Use IE. Works as expected.

Now I'm at home. I am on a panel survey system called IPOS/ISAY. Things just aren't working right, I can tell, I just can't tell you HOW I know, but it is time to use IE...guess which browser works better?

I'm in FF right now. I just spelled a word wrong (survey as servey). Items for the wrong word don't come close to the desired right spelling.

I'm still at a loss to where the "speed" of Quantum is. I can click on something 3 times before I get reaction for something. I SWEAR it is SLOWER than the old FF series. I believe the real problem is the lack of reaction. Prior versions posted clockwise and counter clockwise spinner. The crappy left right blob thingy...pft! she ain't workin' right.
