my firefox just updated to firefox 36?

[lxskllr]

I am going to test it out soon but it's not really something I wanted necessarily, but I could see the appeal of just needing the browser to chat instead of installing another program.

One of the reasons they gave for removing features was to slim down the browser, but they add stuff not many people want, and especially with Talk, it's getting far away from a browser's core function.

I'd rather see them make this kind of stuff an official Mozilla addon, where it doesn't come with the browser, but on first launch it goes to a Mozilla page that features in-house addons with a description that says what it does, how to use it, and download if desired.

Isn't there some chat feature they've developed now (Firefox Hello)? I would put my money on it being that.

Yeah, i wondered if it might be that too but it was new in V35 & i never got that notice before this version.
FF seems to be working fine with access blocked.

I'm not seeing any flash going back to a previous site or page but I did notice that FF was using 25% of my CPU while I had 3 pages open and nothing happening on any of the pages. Closed and re-opened and it's fine but that's the first time I've seen that.

You have a quad-core? Sounds like a thread stuck error, I get those occasionally with Waterfox.

Totally agree with you, they should have made this so you could completely disable if you want!

FF 36 seems to flash for lack of a better term when you click on the back button most of the time.
35 didn't do this, or, at least it didn't do it this much.

I'm having this problem with Waterfox 36.0. Annoying enough that I reverted back to 35.0.

For users who removed the Share & Hello buttons, this new version brings them back unexpectedly

This is how they make you use new and unwanted features

Every update gets worse for me; videos don't play, websites don't display correctly, browser crashes. I find myself going to IE to look at what Firefox can't handle. Something wrong there...

^This is how it is.
There's a certain version of 28 that doesn't update and if you pick the correct Flash to go with it (check release dates)
They have 0 problems.

I had the latest FF and when it updated it broke Youtube and FB videos..
I've had it with it.If Navigator 9 could handle the web nowadays ..I would use that.

Firefox is nowhere near as good as it used to be.

I'd recommend starting over with a new profile, it could be something in there that is causing your problems. As a test you can create a new user on your machine and see if that happens in FF there. Also, check your video drivers to see if they're current.

My video card drivers are current, I just installed the video card a short time ago.

I installed Cyberfox to give it a try and it didn't take long to find websites that did not display correctly but were fine in Chrome and IE. That's just the way it goes; sometimes websites don't work with certain browsers.

I agree, there are some sites that don't quite work properly, but that also could be an issue with the way the site was made. I have seen that from time to time but for me flash and videos almost never have issues.
