I consider release 28 the last of the good releases. Am I the only one that feels this way or are there others?

Release 28 was the last version that allowed us to add toolbars, put icons on new and old toolbars and truly customizing the browsers for our use. Other things like separate the search window and the URL window of different toolbars to make the use faster.
Sooner or later, I know I will have to upgrade if this "dumbing down" continues, or try to find another browser but I have been on this browser almost since I left Netscape and started using Firefox many, many years ago.
Most I know hate Google, Chrome for its "clean" look, that is, removing options and hiding command icons so we have to hunt for them. But, it looks like the developers of FF used to work on IE or Chrome as now I can not tell much difference. What you can see is way TOO simple and hidden.
Am I alone in this feeling of FF going in the wrong direction? The other browsers have "dumbed" down theirs for the novice or people that use only email but not the serious users like the FF user.
IF I am the only one, then I will go away and try to keep up with these "dumbed down", clean, blank, versions.

You certainly are not the only person who likes various aspects of the earlier user interface, as you can tell from the popularity of the Classic Theme Restorer extension. If you haven't already explored it, you can learn more about it in this article: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]].

  • HT4927 Am I the only one that finds this a little crappy?  Do you think there will be a future update fix?

    Am I the only one that finds this a little crappy.  Do you think there will be a update to fix this issue so you don't have to reinstall the whole library?

    I doubt it, but no one here knows. There are other forms of backing up.

  • Windows Explorer was crashing/restarting every few seconds and after trying several different methods of fixes, the only one that worked was removing Firefox, is there something I've missed that I can get Firefox back?

    I'm running a Toshiba Satellite laptop that was originally running Windows Vista 32-bit, but was upgraded by me to Windows 7 32-bit. On Windows Vista, all I would run was Firefox. I loved it!!! On Windows 7, I've noticed that Firefox kept hanging whenever I would try to download a file...from anywhere. I got so frustrated I went to try several different browsers. They all worked extremely quickly, whereas Firefox was working so slow, I could click on a link to a page, go get some lunch, come back and it still be trying to load the page. This was drastically unusual for Firefox. I used the other browsers and everything was fine for a week and then Windows Explorer started going down every few seconds. I went to the windows 7 forums and started looking. There were several suggestions on how to fix the problem, none of which worked for my compy. I tried restarting the compy in safe mode. That didn't help. I turned off every startup program except for the essentials and that DID work in keeping Windows Explorer from restarting. I then dove into the tedious task of trying to discern which 3rd party program was the offender. I removed everything from my compy that had been downloaded in the last ten days (well before the windows explorer issue, but not before the firefox issue). That didn't work either. I tried replacing an explorer file, which didn't work either. There were several other things I tried, as well, but nothing worked. Then, I saw a post that Firefox had caused the problem for one person. I went in and did as was suggested and completely removed Firefox and all associated files. Unfortunately, this worked. I haven't had any more trouble with windows explorer restarting. My big problem is, however, I can't run Firefox!!! And I LOVE Firefox!!! It's spoiled me! I hate Internet explorer, which is what I'm forced to run now. I've tried Safari and Google Chrome and don't like either one of those, either. I want my Firefox back! But if it's not working 100% it's less frustrating to be forced to live with the Internet Explorer. I'm going insane, here! Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried clearing out browser history, changing download files and a couple of other things and nothing worked with the Firefox to get it going better before I started having the Windows Explorer difficulty and had to completely erase the Firefox program. If I've missed any info, please don't hesitate to ask!! I'm happy to supply whatever I know about the issue!!

    uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
    ... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
    so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

  • Is My Iphone 3gs the only one that does this really weird glitch

    ok i have a issue i looked everywhere and i did not see anything in the forums about this
    when i am replying to a text message and auto-spell types something so i hit the back button/delete key to rewrite what i want to type and it does not delete the text it just goes over the letters and doesn't delete it and sometimes the cursor will just get stuck and sometimes the cursor when i am deleting text will keep going over the letters i am typing and doesn't do anything , so as i hit back/delete button on keyboard it just keeps going over the letters and does not delete its really weird, and this is my 2nd new iphone 3gs for a different issue, and they both did that.
    what i want to know is if this is a hardware problem and should i take it in to get it replaced again which i hate doing,since i got a good iphone 3gs this time...has this happened to anyone else,or does this happen to anyone else
    any help would great thank you

    Well if it happened to 2 different iphones perhaps something is corrupted in your backup restore file. By restoring your new phone with this old backup restore file u may be copying over the problem.
    Solution: Restore and setup your iphone as a 'New' phone instead of restoring from a previous backup. This should solve your problem.

  • Am I the only one that hears this????

    Does anybody hear the difference in volume levels for videos that were purchased or when browsing the Music Store? The Support Staff says there is no problem but it's pretty obvious.
    For example, if you preview "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand and then preview "Hate I Told You So" by the Hives, the sound levels are very different.
    Another example would be "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson. This sound level is MUCH lower then "Walk Away" also by Kelly Clarkson.
    I've gone back and fourth with the The iTunes Support staff and have received generic auto replys.
    Does anybody else hear the difference in volume levels or know how to fix this?
      Windows XP  

    Volume levels are set by the original producer of the content, not Apple. Different studios set different volume levels. When a TV station broadcasts a show, they pay engineers to monitor the sound levels and equalize them so you aren't blown away by a different show.
    In the iTunes world, you are that engineer. "Sound Check" tries to balance it automatically, but if you don't have that on (and I don't really know if it impacts TV episodes) then you will hear variations.

  • I downloaded Yosemite last night but when I tried to update iPhoto, I got an error message stating that that app and several others couldn't be updated because they weren't paid for by the user id entered. I'm the only one who uses this computer.

    I downloaded Yosemite last night and tried to look at my photos in iPhoto and noticed that needed updating. When I tried to update as requested, I got an error message stating that the app (and several others including Pages and Numbers) couldn't be updated because they weren't purchased by the user ID I had entered. I'm the only user of the computer and now I can't find my photos anywhere! Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Some folks have solved this issue by dragging the apps to an external disk, then disconnecting it, and then are able to download. Apparently it can arise if you upgraded from an OS the than Mavericks.
    Failing that: Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

  • Why is 1080i the only one that works for my slideshow.

    Well... I'm getting to my breaking point.
    First my system.. Mac Pro 2.66 2x300gb raid 0. x1900 ACD 30
    5gb Ram
    I have read many many posts.. but I still need your help.
    I have found that the only thing that gives me a marketable slideshow in terms of quality images is to make a slideshow in imovie under 1080i.
    The problem with this is that it really really slows my computer down, and I don't want to do this with a slide show of about 150 images per client, and then have wait more for transistions.
    Shouldn't I start a new slideshow in "DV" setting for a 4x3?
    I have tried reducing res from 10.2 mp to a 1024x??? settting for images (depending on orientation). All I seem to lose here is a bit of sharpening as I reduce the image resolution, which makes sense if I understand correctly.
    So... Where to go from here.
    I read the posts.. and have determined that I can use Photo to move (which I have) to make clips and import them into Imovie. Again, a slow process as each clip has to be done seperatly. Is there another way with PTM, because it does render the best Ken burns effect I have seen. Again 150 images is too long to wait to make a slide show of a wedding, not cost effective for me.
    Hope someone can help.

    Anyone??
    When I make a movie in 1080 or 720.. it takes alot of resources and slows things down.
    Just wondering why choosing those options are the only ones that seem to work
    I really need to get it into 4x3 format too.

  • HD slideshow is the only one that works for me.. WHY??

    I have a new mac pro with lots of hd and ram 5GB.. so I don't think its my system.
    What I need to know is that I can make an acceptable slideshow if
    1) I lower the resolution of my photos from 3884x2600 to about 1024x1024
    2) I create a imovie 720hd or 1080i HD.
    ANY other format creates a lousy final picture quality when viewed on the TV. I get a shimmering, but not so noticible jaggies as some have posted. If I keep the photo still and not use KB.. the still images are ok, but not fantastic. The KB kills them. This seems opposite of what I have read of the bug in imovie6.
    Can anyone explain why if I use the HD formats for Imovie the photos turn out ok?
    I would like to keep them in a 4x3 format but can't if I use the HD formats. Is there a way to make it 4x3 after?
    Anyway.. I have done a lot of testing and this is the best I can get so far.

  • Want my JFrame to be the *only* one that can end the program when closed

    Hi all,
    I have an application that is essentially a launcher for other applications -- it's a holder to allow us to demo our work and other Java examples (not necessarily our work). The launcher will either run methods to launch an application or will find a class's main method and invoke that.
    In all cases, the other applications open up their own JFrames, separate from my launcher (this is a good thing). The problem is that, in general, the other JFrames are set to EXIT_ON_CLOSE. This means that if the user closes the second window, everything will close.
    Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? I'd like either a way to say that my JFrame is the only one that can exit the program when closed, or to say globally that JFrames can't exit on close, and then re-work my initial frame so that it is still able to exit.
    Note that changing all the other applications so that they do not include the EXIT_ON_CLOSE line is not an option (several of the applications we have the right to use, but not the right to modify, for instance).
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    I have a similar launcher application and this is how I tackled the issue....
    Window[] windows = Window.getWindows();
    This seems like a great work-around. The only problem is that Window.getWindows() is only 6.0, and unfortunately I can only assume 5.0. I can't see another method in the Window class that will return unowned windows -- is there another method that you know of?
    Edit: I found I can use Frame.getFrames() instead, but unfortunately I've discovered this doesn't solve my problem. One of the applications is listening to window closing and is calling System.exit(0) itself, and is not using EXIT_ON_CLOSE as I previously thought. So I think that launching a new JVM may be the only option.... Any advice on how to do this? I'm a little stuck with the ProcessBuilder stuff above.

    edit In future (not this time), Swing related questions should be posted in the [Swing forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=57]
    I guess I was thinking this as a process-oriented question (I had already been thinking of the "different JVM" tactic), but the other option was to think of it as a pure-swing problem, like your solution above. Guess I should have just cross-posted -- everyone loves that! ;-)

  • It seems I cannot use Sky Go even if I use Firefox. The only one that works is IE 11.

    I was using Google Chrome, but it seems they do not support Silverlight which Sky Go use. I was told that Firefox would work. It doesn't. The only one that works is Internet Explorer 11, which is very slooow. Why can't I use Firefox to view Sky Go?

    My Sky homepage. If I want to watch cricket say, it come up with ' sky go unavailable at this present moment'. If I log on to my IE 11, sky go works Ok. I have the Silverlight add-on or plug-in whatever you call it.
    Still no joy in Firefox.
