Why now, since Firefox upgraded to ver23.0.1, can I not load several pages including facebook unless I use I.E Tab ext?

Between last night and tonight, suddenly I can't load any pages unless I flip back and forth between I.E Tabs. Only difference: Firefox did a bloody update. Why is it that nowadays when a program updates, it always ends up being glitchy or fails entirely. Aren't updates supposed to IMPROVE the program, not break what was already working?

This problem happens on Facebook, twitter, Goodreads, Google, this page... everything. What is the use of having a browser that doesn't work. Come on Mozilla. Please let me roll back to 22. At least that worked. Sorry for the grump here, but I've truly had enough of programs self-"updating" into a version that is crap. With all that programmers have learnt over years of computing, this should not happen any more. If you're going to put out an "update", at least make sure it works fully first. We're not your lab rats for testing.

I've already restarted twice, and once more in safe mode, so please no one give me all the basic advice. Just someone tell the blokes at Mozilla that their update is broken, and they need to patch it. Meanwhile, I'll just run my business loading pages twice in two different browser tabs... or, after more than six years and twenty different version numbers, I might just drop Firefox altogether.

And you know what, I can't even add my Troubleshooting info from the button below. Guess why? That's broken too. As is the button to enter this form.

I advice you to reset your Firefox so, that many problems will be solved.

Caution: By resetting Firefox, all your saved passwords and addons will be backuped to your desktop and deleted in the browser.

How to reset your Firefox browser? Go to Help and click on Troubleshooting Information. In the rightside top corner you will find the "Reset" button of Firefox.

I hope this will help you

Actually your passwords, bookmarks, website history, and cookies will be copied to a new profile and be working when Firefox finishes the "reset". Your addons will be gone though and you will have to re-add them manually.

Read this article to see what exact things are kept and what is not:
What does the reset feature do?

Thanks guys. If I get a moment tonight I'll give it a try. I've turned off auto update, cause I'm sick of the dramas! Also, sorry about all the repeated posts. The pages kept going blank and I just figured it hadn't gone through. How can I delete them?

Well they are already locked, i dont think they can be deleted (by you).
