Not sure why you'd still be getting updates if you've disabled them. Maybe you have the maintenance service installed - if so, uninstall it.

1442232 2017-11-23 22:21:00 I don't know about youse guys, but the 'new' FF57 is something else on a Linux system!

I like it a lot and its very much faster than the old FF56 version. I also don't have any compatibility issues with YT Downloader at all.

Just saying..............

Everything's running nicely and I did not mention that I got a slug of updates for all the extensions and add-ons that I had before.

Linux is being very nice to me right now since I swapped the other 'puter to be online in my studio. This is the one with Studio, Zorin and Ubuntu Cinnamon on it. They all live and play nicely together.

I had a slight muck-up with my SoundBlaster (really olde school stuff) audio card - but it finally figured it out.

Oh yeah ... my problem with the USB Alpha has gone completely away!

I'd say that if you don't want FF56, well OK. But I like it a lot.

1442233 2017-11-24 00:20:00 you like FF56 a lot??? bevy121 (117)
1442234 2017-11-24 02:36:00 I mis-spoke..... mis-TYPED, really.

I like FF57.

I had troubles with FF56 - although I don't think it caused my WiFi to drop out - but with FF57 installed now,

I haven't had a single glitch nor drop out since this early AM, and that's 13 hours ago that this 'puter has been running without a break.

1442235 2017-11-24 05:18:00 I have been using Firefox Nightly v50 on Linux Debian/Ubuntu. It is excellent, and you can access the toolbar in full screen, like Chromebook. mzee (3324)
1442236 2017-11-25 09:41:00 all good here, Firefox 57 64bit, working well

type about:support and make sure multiprocess windows says (Enabled by user) legacy addons usually will disable it, hence them ditching legacy addons in V 57
