Firefox Community Forum

My user experience on Firefox is being severely impacted and is making me angry. I watch the updates calendar they are once a month. So why can i not go a whole week it seems with a necessary Firefox update to my browser that impacts the performance of websites. I like to have multiple tabs open over a week or more. I don't want to close and reopen my tabs every time I want to use my computer. SO WHY are there SO many updates. It's seriously making me want to uninstall your browser and I have been using Firefox on multiple devices for years. More than 20 years now. It's seriously ridiculous to have a major update every week or even every other week where I have to shut down and save my work on ALL of my tabs just to update Firefox. I have never remember history and I am going to uninstall and reinstall from even greater security because I have serious concerns about the amount of data that big tech companies share with 3rd Parties and the government. I am an honest American citizen and I HATE being surveilled and having my private life sold to the highest bidder. But even though. the safety of your browser is a positive feature it becomes very difficult to WANT to use Firefox when my workflow is CONSTANTLY interrupted.

Seriously, You JUST updated on the 23rd/24th and now just two weeks later there's already ANOTHER update. And who even knows when that one dropped. I only checked it because sites were acting up. And EVERY TIME a site acts up it's because of an update. You have interfered with my user experience with Youtube, and Multiple Streaming Services, and Multiple Chat bots. It's thoroughly dis-satisfactory and disruptive, and ANNOYING. I want a tool that protects me while I am on the web. I do NOT want a tool that ruins my internet experience every week.

I do web development and find that Update Available popup to be a real hassle as I am constantly reloading my browser to view edits.

How do I disable that annoying beg notice from making my life miserable?

I am unable to access my own Chase online account because of lack of updated browser. Have tried many times to download Firefox. Why is this so difficult? Laurence S. Lockridge, Professor Emeritus, NYU

Hi,

did anyone else experienced a lot of problems after the latest update (149.0) has installed? I'm having a lot of trouble now:

1. The "New Tab" doesn't work at all, clicking on the plus does nothing, pressing ctrl + t does nothing aswell. 2. The search bar on home page doesn't work, I can't type anything in it 3. I tried to access settings, but the menu looks like on attached screenshot. I clicked on a spot where settings supposed to be, and nothing happened. Furthermore, all the menus look like this, they're simply empty, without any text. 4. Reinstalling didn't help. I want to try not to uninstall Firefox entirelly, because I don't want to risk losing all the saved bookmarks, history, passwords, etc. 5. So far I've experienced these problems on one computer, on the other everything looks fine, so it doesn't seem to be a global problem 6. Any ideas, apart from removing the browser and trying a fresh installation?

The Firefox update of 25 March has obliterated the previous settings I created.

As a lady approaching 80, I am very disappointed, frustrated and annoyed that the settings I laboriously created have been obliterated by this latest update.

So far, it is apparent that areas concerned are the appearance of the screen - location of bookmarks list, font size, task bar and menu bar displays, items included in the tool bar. My chosen browser is DuckDuck but Bing was reinstated. No doubt, further unwanted modifications to the way I wish Firefox to operate have been loaded.

Can this situation be easily corrected or would deinstalling this latest update and reverting to the previous edition of Firefox return my chosen settings to me?

May I say that I am not a computer "nerd" and am unfamiliar with much computer terminology and would, therefore, be grateful for any instructions to be phased in simple terms.
