WTF are you people doing? Firefox sucks almost as bad as IE now, please stop "fixing" it.

With each new version you suck a little bit more.
You have become as bad as google, updating and changing for no good reason, in a race to the bottom with yourself.
The whole reason I started using Firefox is because it worked, now after thousands of installs and convincing users to ditch IE you have become just as bad.
I now restart Firefox a dozens times a day on the 3 machines I use daily. The memory requirements are staggering and FF is now SLOW.
First thing out of the box you will say "you have too many add ons", sorry, I only use one, noscript and not even that on 2 of the three machines.
Three tabs open and nearly 600,000K and using 1-12% CPU just to type this text.
Don't bother with an answer, just clean up your mess. In the alternative we can all wait for someone to come along and eat your lunch. Give me a browser that WORKS and I will forget Firefox ever existed.

Yep, firefox sucks now. I'm now forced to use Chrome.
When watching full movie streams, it would freeze and hog the CPU for about 3 minutes and then continue.
When I'm working on a site that uses flash, it too would freeze and hog the CPU.
Firefox is now a system resource hog.

What the heck are you people doing by synchronizing info. between my computers without notifying me?

''dupe of - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/977896''
I've been a Firefox user since 2005 and had once sworn allegiance to Firefox but not any more. As of this moment I will never use Firefox ever again. I've been using Firefox since 2005 and have been using it as the default browser on my three desktops and laptop but it seems today is the last day I am ever going to use Firefox.
I am absolutely livid having just noticed that you synchronize information, data, between my computers without taking the absolutely necessary, responsible, proper steps to notify your users exactly what you are doing and not by the derelict, utterly inexcusable manner in which you have a pop-up do what you don't seem to have the moral sense to do in a responsible, upstanding manner.
You've been slipping for years, having made compromises, skating on morally thin ice, alienating Firefox users in all sorts of ethically questionable ways, but this, this is beyond the pale.
Firefox, you are out of my life forever.

hello mediamayven, without you actively setting up a sync account and pairing all individual devices to this account, there won't be any synchronising going on by mozilla at all! i don't know where you're getting the impression from that it would be anything other than that...

*** are you guys doing???

I am getting really tired of the constant switching between different display modes!!!! What the **** are you guys thinking?!?! I always choose "list by release date" Sometimes you can list the TV shows appropriately by release date. Other times, iTunes list them by day of the week. Finally, just now, you can only list them by some other - have no idea - method!!! This is totally frustrating. BE CONSISTENT!!! I am getting ready to just say the **** with iTunes and go back to comcast. Seriosuly. This is untenable!! Fix it and be consistent or goodbye!!!!!!

Why are you against free speech? - I am going with Opera now.

Why are you being so mean to the creator of Javascript? Can you tolerate no other views. That is really disappointing. I will go with Opera, or Konqueror or whatever else I can find. I was a Firefox advocate, but not now. Far from it now. I choose to be anti-Firefox now. Bring the CEO back and there might be a chance, but not sure with that even. Don't bother replying.

He made the decision to leave as his way of helping Mozilla due to the onslaught people and parties did towards them once he moved from CTO to CEO.

@Developers: WTF are you doing to firefox?

I have been a faithful FF user for over 10 years. I own many sites (50+) which I use to make my living. So we've established that I'm not some new to the web kid. Got it? Good..
I have updated to latest version 29,521 are whatever it is this month. Who can keep up? When it's finished installing the update I have Chrome. Really? I mean it says it's FF but it looks like chrome, it acts like chrome (except for the stability) must be chrome. If I wanted chrome I would have installed it. Did Google buy you out? If not they really should sue you..
Here's just a few of my complaints:
You have never been able to get FF stable and un-cpu-hoggish since like version 5. So why move on to something new when you cant seem to make the old version work worth a flip?
Cant move the back button. I don't want it permanently attached to the address bar.
Forward button is MIA???
Refresh button is MIA??? I know it's in the address drop down. Who's stupid idea was that?
I don't want to search from the address bar. Another stupid idea...
More then like 2 extensions and there goes the memory. Don't even try to use web developer... Just dont do it...
Really I could go on and on....
Mozilla members don't bother trying to answer my questions. There is no answer other than 'we know it sux and were gonna fix it.' Really just want the developers to know what I and bet many others think of the latest update.... and yes I know there an option to make it look/work like the previous versions. Ever heard the saying.. ' "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," that applies here...
So I guess since you've tried so hard to make it Chrome, I will just use Chrome... I'll check back in a few months (next update or 2) and see if you have come to your senses..
Thanks for making my mind up for me....
As the kids say, EPIC FAIL!!!

Wrong place to try.
I am sorry but Firefox 29 / Australis Development, and design policy decisions are again off topic on this forum. (We did initially temporarily suspend that forum policy so that people had a chance to say something)
I am sorry but we are only fellow users of Firefox there are no Developers here to see or answer these questions. It only diverts attention and effort from trying to help users with problems.
Please See for example a long recently closed thread.

That thread includes
*A quote of a developer's comment,
* Suggestions of where you may discuss this, or post feedback
*Helpful information for those with problems from the Firefox 29 changes

Are you developing a Firefox version localized in the Maori language, the official language of New Zealand?

Dear Sir or Madam,
There are more than eighty localized version of the Firefox at:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
There is even a Mozilla office in New Zealand at Level 7, 5 Short Street, Newmarket, Auckland 1023.
However, there is still no localized version in the Maori language.
Could you please advise when it is going to be released? Thank you in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Evgeny Shmelev

There are eight Universities in the country, and at least three _nga_whare_wananga_ (tribal universities), and most of them offer IT courses. Is it possible that the Mozilla Auckland office gets in touch with some of them and suggests the idea of Firefox localization? It is really unusual to see the browser localized in Aragonese, Breton, Frisian and even Kashubian languages but not in the _only_ official language of New Zealand. There is even a special Commission http://www.tetaurawhiri.govt.nz/english/ which deals with the language — can they be interested in localization, too?

How old are you people?

I haven't posted a question for a while, so I figured it was about time. For starters, I'm only 19. I'm on my first programing job and a freshman in college. I was wondering how old the rest of you were. I keep reading posts about people that wrote code when I was still young enough to think I was going to be a proffesional baseball player. That was about second grade by the way. Anyway, just curious.

man, don't you just hate posting a new topic and than realizing that someone else asked the same question earlier that day? http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=306579&start=0&range=15&hilite=false&q=

What are you guys doing... This is boring as hell...

I am even starting to wonder why like... You know why. So that there can be a red red the whole time you guys were intercepting my phone. But that being said, why don't you meet me outside. Let's have a talk shall we? I'll be there at 3:36am

PS. Make that 5 minutes from now I need to find a few things

Why does Firefox delete files from my Drafts? Can I stop it?

I get messages saying Firefox has deleted x number of files from th Drafts folder when I really want to keep them.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Are you "hoarding" contacts? It may be time to purge your database

I moved homes this month, which is a pretty excruciating process if you’ve not done it recently. Everyone with whom I’ve commiserated tells me this: If you have a packed box that you haven’t opened in six months or more after the move, just get rid of it! One friend said he still had packed boxes from a move two years ago. Yeah.
Generally, most of us are not that concerned about those un-opened boxes; out of sight, out of mind. But what happens when we have to move homes because of budget? Or we need the space for something else more valuable? It can often be an emotional decision, but the boxes may have to go.
If you’ve been managing a marketing database for any period of time, you’ve probably amassed a good number of contacts. While the number and quality of those contacts is important, the better question is, what are you actually doing with those contacts? Are some stuffed in boxes in the back of your database? Or are you actively marketing to and engaging all of them to drive revenue for your business?
So how do you spot which contacts are destined for the trash heap? Begin by segmenting out reachable contacts in your database to whom you’ve not sent an email in the last 6 months. Filter further: are they a good fit to your ideal customer profile and relatively new to the database? If so, drop them into an educational nurture program and get them moving on their buyer’s journey!
There’s another potential collection of dust-collecting contacts: those that you have emailed, but never engaged at all – no opens, clicks, landing page visits, web site visits, form submissions, nothing. Apply the same yardstick: if they fit your ideal customer profile, try to bring them back, but perhaps via a channel other than email.
These are just a few recommendations for making the most of your database. However, even after these campaigns, you’ve likely still got some leftovers and it may be difficult to let go. We marketers are told as a best practice never to delete contacts from our database. But why keep something from which you’re not gaining benefit, especially if you have to pay for it? This ultimately waters down the overall value of the rest of your database.
Using Eloqua’s segmentation capabilities, you can easily discover untapped opportunity in your database while isolating and deleting the junk contacts. The modern marketer takes action – don’t rent storage units for your unengaged, poor fit prospects!
So, do you know what’s shoved in the back of your marketing database?

Gaea,
We recently deleted out approximately 400K contacts from our database (not using the method described above but using our own process) and have had amazing success. The open and click through rates are going through the roof and our overall impact on the organization is improving greatly. Anyone that hasn't cleaned house recently is really leaving money on the table by diluting their messaging and trying too hard to be too much to too many people.

Why does Firefox insist on popups to upgrade everytime I use it ?

I tried using Firefox version 24 and it was not to my liking so I reinstalled Firefox 21 and now I get a pop up prompt asking me if I want to upgrade everytime I use Firefox. If I answer NO, it continues on and on and on whereas ONCE should be enough to put an end to this nonsense.
I think Mozilla should stop offering up new versions every month as its becoming much like Windows which is an operating system stuck in beta format with updates, fixes, patches and well, it sucks as well.
I don't want to be a test pilot and Windows 7 has had more than 150 updates, fixes, patches and platforms which leaves just as many issues as it always had. Small wonder Mac and Linux is sending Windows 8 back to the trash can.

It's my understanding that Firefox typically won't prompt you to update more than once a day, or perhaps once per session. Are you closing all Firefox windows in between warnings? You might try keeping a window open at all times to avoid starting a new session and see whether that helps.
If you get warnings more often than once per session, it may be a website or add-on trying to drive you to a malware download with insistent dialogs. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Usually a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click the link as the last step.
But... Firefox 21 is not secure; Mozilla discloses [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html security flaws] after each new release. What parts of Firefox 24 didn't you like? Since the discussion may benefit you and other users, please let us know so we can suggest solutions or workarounds.

Google Chrome has Incognito, does Firefox have a similar software?

Web pages that are opened and files downloaded while in "Incognito" mode aren't recorded in browsing and download histories. All cookies are deleted after Incognito windows are closed.
Does Firefox have anything similar?

Yes,
If you look at the top right of the browser next to the search bar click on the Firefox Menu (the symbol with 3 grey lines) and then click 'new private window' a new window will then appear with a purple mask (I've attached an Image below)
Or another way is to press (CTRL + SHIFT + P)
(My OS is Linux and may be different)

Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 does not work in FireFox 4.How do i directly convert pages to PDF??Why is that your products are not backward compatable.U people are in the IT industry and should know this.Shame on You people.learn somthing form the IE team

While Updating to Fire Fox 4. It said Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 is not supported.How come 3.6 supports but not 4. I believe you people have never heard of the term "Backward Compatibility" .U people will loose your customer/support base if every new version doesn't support some existing stuff.

'''Problem Solved FINALLY !'''
Solution:
I just updated my '''Adobe Acrobat X Pro''' to '''Version 10.1.0'''.By the way, I have to complain, Adobe is really slow in solving this problem...
Here is the official link for the Adobe Acrobat update.[http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135 <click me!>http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135<click me!>]
After update, the extention changed from "Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0" into "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1". And the '''"Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1" is compatiable with the firefox 4.0.1'''. A screenshot is attached as a proof.

I´ve bought the new IPad3, what a disappointment the 3G does not work, no Internet available, APPLE what are you doing for the all the people in Germany who bought the new IPad3? I´m still an Apple fan, all my products are from Apple but I need a solution

I have been waiting since months for the new IPad4G 64 Gbt. ON recommendation of Apple Support I have changed my IPad 4G last week in the hope that something was wrong with the firts one I bought.

Thanks for a feed back.

It would be advisable for Apple to react officially on it. € 799, - for something that doesn´t function is no fun :-((
Isn't replacing your iPad Apple "officially" acting on it?

Why in God's name is it that every time YOU update firefox my add-on's break? I'll stop using your browser if you are going to keep breaking the plugins platform and require plug-in developers to re-write their plugins to stay compliant! That's retarded!

every time you people update the browser 1/2 or more of my plugins end up broken. WHY? It's counter productive when I rely on some of the add-ons I use. I'll just stop using your browser. Do you know that it gives the impression that it SUCKS?! (By the way, I had updates TURNED OFF and yet it still updated? HOW?!)

Hi earlten
This is a '''Community-Driven''' Support Web Site for Firefox.
The community are volunteers; just ordinary users like yourself who use the Firefox browser and try to offer other users free support. Please remember this and moderate your language to show some respect. I know you are frustrated, but venting this on people who do their best to help others in their free time is not likely to be well received.
Please just state clearly the problem you are having and other users will see if they can help you.
For example: Every so often I check whether my plugins are up to date by using this link:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/[[http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/]]

WTF are you people doing? Firefox sucks almost as bad as IE now, please stop "fixing" it.
