| 1274674 | 2012-05-11 11:31:00 | Hi Team As above, I'm being nagged daily now, but need to know if upgrading will be a trouble-free exercise that won't interfere with any of my settings. I don't want to click yes and find that I have to spend hours sorting it out and getting things back to how I am accustomed to seeing them. So, does the update retain all present settings etc. I gotta know, before I say go....... Cheers Billy 8-{) :badpc: |

| 1274675 | 2012-05-11 11:41:00 | I say why not, I haven't had any trouble thus far. In fact I think my profile might still be the same one that's evolved since I started using Firefox :lol: | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1274676 | 2012-05-11 11:46:00 | Well I have to go along with Billy's nervousness. I use a few add-ons and extensions but some of them have not worked since FF 4. Secure Login for example. I'm a more than a tad annoyed. Yes I know there are other add-ons but I tried a few and they were clunky or didn't work. So frankly, I'm not at all a fan of updating FF these days. | Winston001 (3612) | ||
| 1274677 | 2012-05-11 12:19:00 | Admittedly I do have a couple of addons that don't work, but they really add "nice-to-have" features and I can live without them - as long as Adblock works. :pOne other thing, updating Firefox 12 on Windows Vista and Windows 7 no longer requires a UAC prompt, the first stage of silent updates. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1274678 | 2012-05-11 19:52:00 | If you don't want to then turn the updates off. | pctek (84) | ||
| 1274679 | 2012-05-11 22:54:00 | If you are worried about addons breaking every time FF gets updated, perhaps an upgrade to Chrome is in order. I can't remember the last time an extension broke in Chrome (whereas that is one of the main reasons I dislike FF these days). | johcar (6283) | ||

| 1274682 | 2012-05-12 06:33:00 | im using v13b2 which is really good for me anyway, got 3 computers using it no troubles | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1274683 | 2012-05-13 11:24:00 | Turned off the nag, I didn't know you could do that. Interestingly, it was set to auto-update, but still chose to ask the question instead of just getting on with it. Thanks for the advice, I'll stick with the unbroken version I already have. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
