Turning off Firefox Update

<< < (2/3) > >>

TiYlER:
4.0.1 just updated. Seems the same, no problems. You sure it isn't just your computer?

Tiffanys:
I'm still using 3.6.17, I just got it from another Vista install of mine and copied over my AppData and it's exactly the same as before, extensions, favorites, addons, cookies and all.

I tried some 3.6 version from some old versions website and it was really buggy. Like, my Gmail didn't even have the option to let me log out or change accounts. Talk about screwy...

But yeah, the new Firefox looks too much like Chrome to me. I like my browser just how it is right now.

Wintereise:
FF4 is doing just fine. I just updated too, no such issues at all.

kitamesume:
you could customize how ff4 looks, skin was it? literally arranging how ff4 looks, where tabs should be, bookmark lane, address bar, etc.

Amusingly, my workplace IT department basically forced all users with Firefox 3.6 installed to upgrade to 4.0.1 last week. Said it was some kind of security thing. I bet it'd be a greater security issue to go up to 4.0.1 so quickly, since it's only been out for a month or so.

It probably uses an algorithm that checks the versions of common programs installed on users' computers, and grabs the latest version available from the download location, and ensures you have the latest version (and if not, send that automated message).

But meh, I like FF 4. It's much faster than any versions of FF 3. Starting up FF 4 takes about 2-3 seconds, while starting up FF 3 takes about 15 seconds (rough estimate).
