Lucky thirteen! I shall lay off the update for a few days - I only use a few plugins, but it's bound to break at least one of 'em.

Do it man. Take control! "Tools" dropdown -> "Options" -> "Advanced" tab -> "Update" tab.

Show 'em who's boss.

Hmmm...you guys still using 32 bit browsers when you whine about 32 bit plugins and antiquated 32 bit hosts. How can devs take you seriously if you won't walk the walk. Get Waterfox, 64 bit firefox goodness using almost all your 8 Gigs for something more creative than DAW tunes - making 144 simultaneous KVR posts effortlessly.

I can almost imagine Waterfox (which abbreviates quite nicely to wtf) eating 8gig of memory without breaking into a sweat - it's 32bit cousin has always had quite the appetite...

Now 13???

I agree - it's crazy.

What happend?

I stopped at v5(after upgrading v4 two month earlier) and are not planning to upgrade.

Seems there are other people running the show now - and I don't trust them anymore.

When FF 5 stops working on most sites I switch to something else in browser.

Or when your credit card is charged $1,000 from the other part of the world, whatever comes first....

I guess I'll try FF again. 12 really pushed me over the edge and I switched to Chrome (which I hate, but it's fast).

Try it with All-in-One Sidebar, Adblock Plus, Hide Caption Titlebar Plus, IE Tab 2 and Menu Editor. Works like a charm for me.

Firefox has been my primary browser up to version 4 or so. But when I had a closer look at Chrome it didn't take me long to switch to it. It's fast and does what I need (with a couple of add-ins). As a web/intranet developer I use other browsers as well, of course, to check compatibility of web sites in different browsers. Firefox seems to behave reasonably nowadays. But I prefer the one-textbox-for-urls-and-searching approach in Chrome (and even IE!).

Also, this version nonsense has been repelling me from FF. In Chrome you basically never knew about any version number because it updates itself transparently. In FF it just feels stupid. Maybe it'll work better now that an update service is used.

I use it because it's familiar.

In my usage, Waterfox (FF's speedy brother) is faster than Chrome. Chrome likes to pretend it's faster while google sucks all your browsing history into their evil 'do no evil' cloud. The Google EULA is enough to make one swear off the internet for good. And I would, but the sirens of KVR whisper to me, the daily hibiddyisms and the internet cats must be obeyed.

Something like that.....

I use Mozilla Thunderbird as mailclient and love it to death. Best I discovered.

But something happended to the community of Mozilla FF - and I don't trust them anymore.

Spend some time at Cakewalk forums, and plenty people had trouble the posting did not work as before - and I believe it was FF 5 or 6.

What are they thinking - a major version upgrade every 1-2 month - idiots?

My current internet computer is still XP, and run MSIE 7.0 on it if I have to. If upgrading to 8 certain parts of Visual Studio does not display as it should anymore.

So it's a tough call - what to turn to when FF fails?

As others expressed the dominance of Google is starting to scare as well. I have an Android phone - and it keeps asking me to create a gmail account until I wouldn't be bothered with those questions anymore - I created it.

I just wanting something - not Apple!!!!

Google engine suddenly had me logged in - and I had to log out there when the new EULA started.

Starting to get paranoid over this, I think.

Now it is firefox 21! (will update as needed!)
