What's the big deal?

1373862 2014-05-02 01:11:00 Obviously it looks like Chrome. Doesnt worry me, I dont like Chrome ! Speedy Gonzales (78)
1373863 2014-05-02 02:18:00 Since upgrading to version 29, there has been a bit more frequent problem on my setup, with closing Firefox, and when re-starting Firefox getting the message
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."

I haven't had that, but Firefox does take a few seconds to close if I have had a lot of things open, as long as you wait for it to shut down before you start it again it works.

1373864 2014-05-02 02:58:00 Ive stopped updating FF, ever since they 'betterised' the downloads window . :groan:
If I wanted a chrome lookalike, I'd install Chrome :2cents:

1373865 2014-05-02 08:49:00 It's what Chrome could be if they gave people what they need, buttons that are not hidden settings where you can find them. All in all good one FF I like it. gary67 (56)

1373868 2014-05-04 00:47:00 I didn't change a single settings - it's 99% similar to my previous version and keeps all my preferences. bk T (215)

Some extensions may have been turned off due to incompatibility - also note that Classic Theme Restorer won't magically change it back straight away, you have to choose what you want to change in the CTR settings too.

With recent versions they turned on silent updates, to turn that off: www.bleepingcomputer.com
