Why has mozilla decided to fix what wasn't broke?

After trying 4.0 I have reverted back to 3.6.
The user interface has been changed for the worse in 4.0, i hardly know where to start.
The forward and back buttons no longer have an drop down menu next to them.
The title bar is no more, instead it's replaced with a firefox button in the weirdest place possible, and optional tabs that I never wanted in the first place.
The status bar doesn't stick around anymore.
The forward, back, history, bookmarks and reload button are bland to the point of being hard to identify.
Fonts seem to have a mind of their own, randomly losing their cleartype focus.
In short, it's a disaster, having spent hours trying to alter 4.0 to something near usable for me, it still wasn't acceptable and I'm relieved to be back, problem free, on 3.6.
4.0 is simply intolerable, you guys have fixed the bits that weren't broke, and it looks like my days with 3.6, and firefox are now numbered.

@dodge135 You could try this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/anti-aliasing-tuner/ It's supposed to help with the blurry fonts.

  • Why has Apple decided that online orders for Macbook Air display and speak VO when first opened from the box? I"m guessing 1%or 2 % of your customers know what it is or want it.

    You are not talking to Apple, we are just users like you.  Only Apple knows that answer.

  • Attachments - why fix what wasn't broken!

    Prior to OX Lion, when an email arrived with attachments you were able to select them individually (or more using command-click) and drag them to whichever folder you liked directly from mail. Now all you get is to save them individually or all at once and the process has increased from 1-click (and drag) to as many clicks as it takes to locate the folder you want them saved in ('recent folders' is cool if you only deal with a few folders - we use dozens of folders). We design and produce magazines and receive a lot of attachments and the new mail has increased our workflow by thousands of clicks - VERY DISAPPOINTING.
    You also were able to open attachments directly from mail as well (using right-click), you can't do that anymore either!
    Anyone know a work-around?
    I see THUNDERBIRD still allows you to select and drag attachments.
    Another example of some idiot fixing what ain't broken!

  • Why has mozilla made it impossible to add an exception when a certificate error is encountered?

    I need to connect to a ProLiant iLO (management controller) using fedora 21 with FF v36.0 and get the message:
    Secure Connection Failed
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    FF no longer provides details about why it decided not to proceed, but I presume that the iLO certificate cannot be verified. Apparently there is no mechanism for allow me, the competent user, to add an exception.
    The mozilla developers, praised by their name, have decided to build a car that refuses to take the driver to some destinations.
    Here's a tip for others: add this repository for Opera and use Opera. It doesn't dictate to the user:
    --start of /etc/yum.repos.de/ruario_opera.repo--
    [home_ruario_opera]
    name=Opera packages (Fedora_21)
    type=rpm-md
    baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ruario:/opera/Fedora_21/
    gpgcheck=1
    gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ruario:/opera/Fedora_21/repodata/repomd.xml.key
    enabled=1
    --end--
    and leave the Mozilla developers to stew in their own juices.

    Incorrectly configured server. i.e. missing intermediate chain certificate. IE can download automatically, but Mozilla can't, hence the cert error. As far as why it randomly decides it is valid sometimes prior to you try to add a security exception I don't know.

  • I don't seem to have View anymore. I can't fix my screen. Why is Mozilla deciding that I should ignore threads. I don't want to ignore threads. I can't fix this

    I am really distressed that Mozilla apparently unilaterally decided I should not see all my threads. I DO want to see all my threads. In fact, one reason I don't get my mail from a website is that I don't like my messages grouped according to threads.
    The instructions given in the Ignoring Threads article do not seem to match my computer. Here are the instructions: "To ignore a thread you select Message | Ignore Thread, or simply use the K (for "kill") keyboard shortcut." I don't see "View" or "Message" or "Ignore Thread." How can I fix this?
    (And please, Mozilla, stop making decisions for me. )

    View is in two places.
    First on the menu bar where it always has been. The menu bar is hidden in the newer versions of Thunderbird. Pressing the alt key or F10 reveals hidden toolbars.
    There is a new AppMenu button located in the upper right of the screen. It is a square area with 3 horizontal lines. View is located here also.
    Thunderbird is software that runs on your computer. It is configured by you.

  • Why has Apple decided the 3G won't have mult-tasking with the new OS 4.0

    Just would like a answer if apple would re-consider enabling multi-tasking on the iphone 3G when they release OS 4.0, maybe in a limited form.
    My experience is the iphone 3G will often leave applications running in the background on OS 3.x and I have to use "freememory" third party app to clean it up when the iphone becomes too slow.
    This suggests to me there nothing technical why the 3G can't have multi-tasking as in away it already does do this when the applications aren't closed.
    Maybe if they limit the multi tasking to 3 applications on 3G, rather then none out all, this would make me happier.

    The developer response as to why FreeMemory no longer available:-
    "Apple has demanded that we remove the feature to Free Memory from all our apps. We have decided to remove our existing Free Memory 1.5 and MemoryInfo 1.1 apps from sale. We have instead submitted Free Memory Lite and MemoryInfo Lite without the Free Memory feature."
    So I suppose I was lucky to find the tool before Apple banned it.
    It is interesting as most iphone's have 8 or 16GB of Storage RAM, but only 128MB 3G, 256 3GS of runtime RAM, and because the phones doesn't have the ability to use virtual RAM, memory is limited on iphone, this would of been a nice feature to add to OS 4.0.
    My opinion is Apple decided to limit functionality so people are forced to upgrade to the latest iphone, a little cynical I suppose, but I feel is true.
    The release of the OS 4.0 and not providing multi-tasking for the 3G is probably another example as it doesn't really appear to be "technically not feasible".
    I feel the developers need a bill of rights, as Apple decisions to "ban" apps is too arbitrary and unfair.
    Sorry for my comments about Apple policy of banning apps or limiting functionality it just my opinion, although I think it is shared by many.
    To some find my comments harsh but it is in Apple interest to make all iphones the best phones in the world

  • Firmware fun - why fix what ain't broke? Who pays?

    Recently my MacBook failed to recognise a portable Lacie firewire drive. My G5 PowerPC continues to recognise it. The drive is in excellent condition, has operated problem-free for many years and continue to work properly.
    After much testing (and posting to another part of this discussion forum) the general consensus seemed to be that it was likely to be a firmware issue.
    I wrote to the vendors: "The drive was purchased in 2002. That may sound 'old' to you, but it's in excellent condition, been well looked-after, and continues to perform perfectly. A pretty good ad for a product, no?"
    The vendors said, "Having checked with your device unfortunately we no longer have any updates for it... It is possible that updates would have been the issue here as they would provide additional support for newer versions of Windows and Mac OS including more support for firewire and USB."
    Does anyone know what the legal position is here? I have a perfectly good product that can no longer be used in the usual way. Do the vendors have a responsibility in storing firmware their clients may need in order to use their products? Or is it the responsibility of the computer vendors to ensure that their customers can continue to access the 3rd party devices they customarily use with the computer?
    The drive I purchased has been made redundant through no fault of my own. Can I ask the drive vendors to replace it?
    iHope

    JoeyR, thanks for your comments.

    If your drive is being recognized by another machine, I can't see the firmware being the cause for it not working with your MacBook.
    The (Intel) MacBook doesn't recognise, the (PPC) G5 does.... Today the vendor wrote, saying there has never been a firmware update for this particular drive.
    When you say "recently my MacBook failed to recognize..." do you mean that it did work at some point on your MacBook or it never did?
    It's always been recognized by the MacBook until recently.
    Does it just not mount the drive or does it not see it at all? Meaning if you go into Disk Utility, can you see the drive there?
    Disk Utility doesn't see it.
    If you have any data on that external drive that you don't have stored elsewhere, you'll want to be sure it is backed up before the drive fails.
    The FW external drive is used in my workflow, but not for archiving.
    The issue began after installing the latest Apple security update (for Intel computers only). As I asked at the start, who pays for the fact that this device is no longer fully available to me?

  • I just put up a new iWeb website and firefox is putting BIG BLACK BOXES around all my photos. Why has this not been fixed yet? I have to tell everybody who views my site NOT to use Firefox. This is unacceptable. Please fix ASAP. This is my site below.

    with 3.6.19 it works well, no black boxes
    with 5.0.1 there are black boxes

    You will have to wait for Firefox 6 to get this fixed. It is a bug only in Firefox 5. That bug existed when the Firefox 5 code was split off and Firefox 5 didn't get the fix that later version got.

  • Why has HP decided to remove the capslock/numlock/scroll-lock LED indicators.

    On several new Touchsmart(Envy 23 TS)/Omni27 models, the bundled keyboard does not have a LED indicator for capslock/numlock/scroll-lock.
    I understand that the HP My display solves this issue by providing briefly appearing popups on screen, however at the Login screen these do not appear for W8.
    My only question is this:
    Is there a reasoning behind this decision to exclude these indicators?
    Thanks for the provided feedback in advance.

  • Deleted Emails Keep Coming Back -- WHY has this not been fixed?

    Settings on iPhone:
    Mail Type:  POP
    Deleted Messages = After One Day
    Delete from Server = Whn removed from inbox
    iOS:  5.1.1
    Okay.....this is ridiculous, if you search the web you find hundreds of people complaining about this problem and not one offers any type of solution.  This never happened on my Blackberry.  This ONLY started happening again a few weeks ago on the iPhone.
    I have NOT changed any settings anywhere as it relates to email.  This is just annoying when you are trying to work and you get buzzed to only find the same ones deleted are back again.
    Is there a FINAL solution to this problem Apple.
    Thanks to all who respond.

    If it used to work properly you could try deleting and recreating the account on your phone to see if that would help.  Otherwise you might have to contact godaddy support to see if they know if their server will honor the settings on your phone.

  • HT4060 Suddenly my iPad won't charge. A box appears saying 'this accessory is not supported'. What does this mean. Why has it suddenly appeared?

    Suddenly my I pad won't charge. A box appears saying 'this accessory is not supported'. What accessory? What does this mean? Why has it suddenly happened? What do I do?

    Hi Eileen,
    With iOS 7, the devices have become more sensitive to the type of cable that is being used to charge the device. I have found that with my iPhone 4, once I upgraded to iOS 7, it became a little more sensitive to even my iPad charger. It doesn't always recognize it if I just plug it in, but if I slide it in slowly until I hear the charging tone, then I can push it the rest of the way in, and everything works as it should.
    Any chance the cable is bent or frayed? How long have you had the device and cable? If it is under a year old, take it into the Apple Store (device and cable) so you can show them what is happening. They should replace your cable.
    Cheers,

  • Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

    Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??
    iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Ipad2 plus ipad air all of a sudden instantly goes back to home screen.doesnt matter what app i am using just when it decides to do it it does.apple tech has no answer or fix for me does anybody have any idea what is wrong

    ipad2 plus ipad air all of a sudden instantly goes back to home screen.doesnt matter what app i am using just when it decides to do it it does.apple tech has no answer or fix for me does anybody have any idea what is wrong

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Could also be not enough free space for the iPad to operate efficiently. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
    If neither of these suggestions helps, Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • WRT160NL NAS error why has linksys not fixed it yet?

    Every once in a while, my linksys router keeps locking up on the "storage" page. It will do so until I disconnect my hd from the router, plug it into a computer, and delete the twonky information.  I'm waiting on the next firmware patch to come out as I've already talked to customer support. 
    Why has Linksys not fixed this yet and what are they waiting for? There's a ton of problems in the WRT160NL that need correction!

    What is the Model no of the HDD you are using.Check this link for the compatible HDD for WRT160NL....Try to hard-reset the router for 1 minute,power cycle the router and reconfigure it from the scratch.

    From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
