Turning off Firefox Update

(1/3) > >>

Tatsujin:
The worst fucking application since patch 3.6 to ever update. Every update I do has issues with it. Even with two different computer upgrades, Firefox is so unstable to update. Unchecking updates. Great browser to use but very insecure to ever update this shit.

Lupin:
Never encountered any issues with firefox 4.

You sure you have all the windows updates installed?

The only time I have issues with firefox was when I stopped installing windows updates.

sapsa:
No problem with updating or anything - only problem i had it was when i tried ff4 before RC.

Other than that non - mayby your plugins/expensions are broken ?

Takeshi:
Firefox has one of the best ways of getting updated. It doesn't require uninstalling the current version, it's subtle and there's never any issues. Though as sapsa mentions, plugins could be an issue if you have a lot of those. I hardly ever use them, only dictionaries for British English and Danish, and Video DownloadHelper.

Tatsujin:
It just happens whenever I update. I had few blue screens long ago. Right now, I get a black screen right when it finishes updating or several hours after the updated Firefox is working and running. It's been very sweet before patch 3.6. I even did fresh Firefox installs, too. This problem persisted on my Vista copy about a year ago and on Windows 7. Again, I did two hardware upgrades and it still happens. I don't know to be honest but getting this black screen crap because of Firefox just hit that last straw for me. I may as well wait until 4.x hits or until 5.0 hits until I do a big update on it. Right now, it's working fine with no problems.
