I updated to version 57 today.. I'm here to warn you NOT to do it. It is the most horrible interface I have ever seen and I can not for the life of me figure out how to go back to version 56.

Don't download it.. don't upgrade to it.. you'll be sorry. Complaints all over the web..

Wow.. I clicked the update button in the firefox "Check for updates" menu and 57 is what it gave me.. Now I just did it again after reading your post and its going to 60.. Huh? Why didn't they just give me the latest version when I originally updated a few hours ago? How stupid is that?

LOL.
I don't often use Firefox (mostly Safari) so I opened it just now to check which version I have.........

46.

It runs just fine.

I never update unless I'm forced to somehow by the internet PTB and I've rarely seen someone NOT have a problem when they do. :oops:
Since I've never been hacked, hijacked, infected with a virus or scammed, I reckon I'll let my little Mac alone and cruise on down the information highway.
:D

I'm on version 60 now.. (64 bit).. can't get my "tabs on bottom" and I'm infuriated by it. Looks like they did fix the bookmarks they screwed up so badly though in 57.

Why can't these companies keep things the way we like them? How would those bastards like it if we rearranged the controls in their cars every other week? Or screwed with the menu in their phones?

I know, right?
Like running in the store to grab something quick and they got the great idea to "rearrange" all the items so you can't find product 'X' on in the same place it always is........:mad:

They need to adopt my saying when I'm making or repairing stuff.

"It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to work!"

Oh and I tend to use Iron browser, its a Chromium clone only without the "do you want to log in to Google" popups. Full blown Chrome is a data miner.

Iron (Chromium) doesnt auto update and is slightly faster on my computer/connection. I dont particularly have a preference, its more about what add on extensions are available. Pretty much do same things in either browser, but some extensions I prefer in Firefox.

Except for the ESR versions, these are supported for much longer time periods. In other words they do minimal security updates. You dont just wake up to a completely new version of the browser.
