Why did FireFox move from v4 to v5 so quickly?

There was more time spent ANNOUNCING v4 was coming than v4 spent as the "current" version.
What gives? Was v4 a horrible failure, like Windows Vista or something?

  • Re: Why did I move from talktalk?

    You should have stayed with Talk Talk, I was with them before I came to this dire excuse of a company who does,nt give a flying fish about customers only about profit. I for one would never ever recommend BT and as soon as my contract is up I am off,  never again will I trust BT. Total rubbish.

    welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
    in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) bt speedtester and post the results .
    are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

  • Why did iTunes move my archived podcasts to the cloud?

    I want my podcasts archived on my computer... which they were.  Why did iTUnes move them?  They were files on my computer, some of which I paid for and which were not downloaded from iTunes.  Now I have to download them again.  This "feature" is invasive and blatantly stupid.

    The iTunes Match tutorial says you can share all music, even music you added from other sources. Is this a lie?
    No, it was not a lie but the music must be in the iTunes library. It doesn't matter what the source for the music is, though.

    If I download music from other sources, the music is added to my library right alongside any other music I have on my phone. There is no way to get it into iTunes if I didn't buy it there.
    I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Do you not know how to add music to the iTunes library? It is very easy: pull down File > Add to library. You can add any supported file format to iTunes, not everything has to be purchased from the iTunes Store.

  • I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4?

    I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4? I had the Hardcore mix and a rap mix and classic rock and grunge mixes...now I don't...I kinda want those back...the mixes I have now make no sense as most the songs on each do not correlate AT ALL to the genre mix they have been placed in. If someone could give me an answer that'd be great.

    1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
    2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
    3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
    4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

  • Why is downloading movies from the iTunes store so slow?

    why is downloading movies from the itunes store so slow?

    Hi there
    Many users seem to be experiencing this issue around the world (see thread  https://discussions.apple.com/message/16981332#16981332) - my iTunes dowload last night showed 7 hours ETA for a 45 minute tv show.  this morning I rebooted it and tried again, it is now taking 2 hours.  An improvement in theory but still terrible.  I don't know if it is internet connection but everything else I do on the internet seems to be running at normal pace.....
    Not much help sorry but at least you can see you are not alone
    Cheers

  • Why did you deduct from my bank?

    Why did you deduct from my bank $24.99?

    You've checked the purchase history on your account (Store > View My Account, Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11, menu option on your computer's iTunes), and have you made any in-app purchases or have any auto-renewing subscriptions (iTunes Match costs $24.99 per annum) ?  If  you can't find what the charge is for then you could contact iTunes Support and ask if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Why did the movie I rented from iTunes freeze and will not download?

    I just rented a movie from the iTunes store and downloaded it.  The download completed and I began watching the movie.  Over an hour and a half into the movie it froze and now says an unknown error occured while downloading (even though no error message displayed before starting the movie) .  Why is this?  How do I get a refund or have the movie download properly?  My connection is great just fyi.

    As I mentioned in the first post.  It shoudl be in the videos app.
    Itunes is only the itunes music and video store.  Nothing is stored there.
    You need to open the videos app.
    Have a look at the manual:

  • Alarm burried... why did Apple move it?

    Alarm in the previous OS was an icon on my iPhone's 'desktop.'
    With OS8 it was made less accessible: you got to swipe to get that window up, choose time keeping devices, the first to appear is 'stopwatch;' as if that was more important than the Alarm?
    Why did it get buried? Why have to go through so many steps to get to something as important as the device that wakes us up?
    Is there a way to move the feature to be more readily available?? Or get an app?
    If things work well, why change them?

    The Clock App is still there, and you can move it wherever you want.  All they did was add the Control Center shortcut.  Which you can access from pretty much any screen, including you Lock Screen.
    Move your Clock app to your dock, so it will be on any Home Screen you're at.  That way, from your Home Screen, the steps are:
    1. Tap the Clock App.
    2. Tap the sub-function of the Clock App you want to use.
    If you're on your Lock Screen, you either:
    1a. Unlock your screen
    1b. Enter your passcode
    2. Tap the Clock App.
    3. Tap the sub-function of the Clock App you want to use.
    OR
    1. Swipe up for Control Center
    2. Tap on the 'Stopwatch' to open the Clock app an default to the Stopwatch sub function.
    3. Tap the sub-function of the Clock App you want to use.
    Nothing has been lost.  More options have been added.  If you don't want to access your Clock app via the Control Center... then don't.

  • Why does watching movies from iCloud fill up storage? And why do I have to reset to clean storage?

    i watch movies from iCloud. some how it fills up my storage,but I can't clear it without resetting. What am I doing wrong?

    If you are talking about the movies that have the cloud icon next to them, you are not actually streaming them. You are downloading them from the cloud. If you completely download the movie, then you will be able to delete them as John Galt is describing above.
    This isn't made every clear by Apple, IMO. Most people assume that they are streaming, but when you tap the cloud icon, you start downloading the movie and it can't be deleted until it is fully downloaded. I have been down this road a few times myself.

  • I'm sick of constant version updates. Why have you gone from 3 to 7 so quickly???

    Why have you updated from version 3 to 7 so quickly instead of point releases like everyone else. Apps dont work and its annoying. I liked firefox but I'm sick of this and gonna look for another browser.

    Mozilla has switched to a rapid release cycle and that means a major update every 6 weeks, so there is more to come till the end of this year.

  • Why did firefox change yahoo home page. Now different from IE

    For some reason the Yahoo home page which I always use has been changed on Firefox. On IE it is the good old home page that I not only like but was used to. I prefer Firefox as my browser but would like the regular Yahoo home page back. Any ideas?

    I have the same problem too. I had the same problem about two months ago and someone on here told me what to do. Unfortunately I did not write it down so i don't remember. I've tried, tools-options - advance - general - unchecked use hardware acceleration when available...it did not work. Yahoo main page looks perfect on IE, on Firefox it's a mess. Someone please help.

  • Why did colorzilla disappear from my laptop and why doesn't Firefox allow it to download?

    I used the zoom feature on colorzilla quite a bit, but now it's disappeared from my laptop. I googled colorzilla and got a link to www.colorzilla.com. The download link took me to www.colorzilla/firefox, and a "firefox prevented" notification appeared.
    Is colorzilla not recommended by mozilla/firefox?
    thank you

    hello kmarble, this dialog is just a standard security measure that you can confirm and will show up on every third-party site which offers to install an addon - you can also download colorzilla directly from [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/colorzilla addons.mozilla.org]...

  • Why did Firefox intervened to move data while working with an Excel file; cannot locate the data.

    Downloaded Firefox 2wks ago. Just now working with a large Excel spreadsheet when something happened losing all 6 sheets of data. My file location now shows sheet data as Firefox Document. Now I can't retrieve this file of data; it was financial data! What happened for Firefox to intervene?

    No, Sir. I was strictly working within a newly created Excel file. Actually, Internet Explorer is current browser.
    Thank you for interest and any suggestion.
    Re-thinking thru this, it is probable I downloaded the base data thru FIREFOX. I was working with the project on an Excel spread sheet when I lost the data. The sheets still exist but the data is missing. Very strange.
