I don't have a problem with Firefox- it does what I need it to.  The only downside is it's a resource hog, but that's not a big deal these days.

Firefox went downhill ever since version 4. 

Saw an email that said I should upgrade FF to version 28. Out of curiosity I clicked on it, got to the Mozilla site and the version ready for download was 27, not 28. Also...in fine print underneath it says you must agree to allow the yahoo toolbar, change to the yahoo search engine and make yahoo your home page. I wanted to tell them where to go. I used to like FF but these last few iterations are the pits! Despite the fact that I can't see the buttons on Chrome, still work though, it beats the hell out of FF without all the hiccups, freezes and all that not so good stuff. Bye bye FF

sorry, but this is plain nonsense.

please do yourself a favor and stop clicking links in your email. you had more malware infections than all the people i know in real life combined. this is one of the major reasons for that. and i am pretty sure almost every malware-distributor on the internet knows your email-address.

this, and only this, is Mozilla's website:

https://www.mozilla.org/

the current stable Firefox version is available here:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

the current beta and nightly builds are available here:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/

edit:

you have probably been here:

https://downloads.yahoo.com/firefox/

There are sites that bundle their crap in FF downloads, and you should avoid them at all costs ... cos malware; spyware; tracking cookies and other nasty crap is what you'd end up with. 

Having said that, I use Firefox as my default browser and I've not had an issue with the official download from Majorgeeks or the Mozilla site.  If you stick to the official downloads from reputable sources you shouldn't have any issues with toolbars and other nasty addons.

That habit will bite you on the backside more often than not.

Sound advice.

Actually, the same dialog with the toolbar options, etc., popped up here after clicking the normal in-browser update popup, but 'skipping' the detritus was no problem.  As long as you have the option to avoid the extra baggage, I have no issue with Mozilla accepting a little financial support from Yahoo.

Yep, if i want a slow, bloated over hyped crappy browser i will be sure to use FF. But i prefer a browser that works. FF sucks, it's always sucked and will continue to suck in the future. just sayin'

I sense you're holding something back, Nimbin.

moi?????

Tu ...

Yeah, if you're gonna have a bitch about something you might as well let rip 100% and say all that you really feel... don't try getting the point across with half-measures or blunted barbs that have little or no impact.  And if you need to use rude words to describe and/or vent, there are some very good replacements, like fech, for example, that should see you get into less trouble with management.

BTW, 'tis good to see you around... I hope all is well with you and yours.

It works fine for me and my 1200 tabs though.

now with a touch-friendly Office released for the iPad, shouldn't the headline be Microsoft puts Metro on the shelf?
