Well, after firefox said they weren't any more updates for firefox on windows 7, looks like they updated it.

No more crashes when copy/pasting links.






laziness has won the day again

I didn’t know Firefox was still a thing honestly. I remember windows 7 though, I think that was 2002??

It has about 6% of users.

I think that might be low since there are numerous varieties for Linux and some who use it change the user agent so that the sites they visit don't try to shame them to use something else.

Who remembers Mosiac?

Hydrating and alcohol don't really go together very well.

PRO TIP: if you drink fast enough the ice doesn't melt and you just get the alcohol part so the hydrating can happen in the morning when you wake up

That is the Flux Raider chassis for the Sig P320. Makes for the most compact PDW ever.

You do realize that your are vulnerable to a crap ton of viruses, right?

Having to regularly deal with some users that still insist on using firefox because they have been brainwashed that it is the best - it really does suck. No as bad as sarfari, but close.

Sucks how? I regularly use three different browsers on a daily basis. Firefox is one of them. I don't see anything that sucks about it. Chrome and Edge are where sucking starts for a browser these days.

Gonna need to know how it sucks. It is by all counts a pretty good browser with some decent security. Firefox is used by a large amount of our user base.

He's saying my windows 7 is the problem.

No, he's definitely referring to Firefox.

My entire IT dpt is a joke. I used to kid about them only having community college educations but then I learned they don't even have that...

We are running a 56 mil/yr company off of 1984 as400. I refuse to learn it, it's all keyboard controlled, F12 shift + 1 ********... It slows us down and makes us look embarrassing... We managed to go to 99% paperless with the "old" system, now we are printing paper more than ever before. Multiple screens are needed to copy info. It's a complete joke... IT is all boomers and when we were bought we were state of the art technology... They refuse to learn something new so we literally had to dumb down to their level... ****ing idiots.

 

[bigretic]

I find firefox in general to be laggy and slow. That's my number one complaint. Every pc i've ran it on, side by side it takes twice as long as chrome to load pages. That's the only reason i need. That said, i run edge on my laptop for 90% of things because the touchscreen features are the bomb. Chrome for desktop an all work thingys. Firefox on the linux boxes mostly becuase i always forget i have chrome installed on them. Safari on ios - again because i forget about chrome and egde mostly.

You have as much idea of what a good system is as I do about how to fix a an engine.

Not THE problem. It is A problem.

Although it will become THE problem as newer stuff will not be compatible with that OS. It will definitely be THE problem if you click on the wrong thing or go to the wrong site. It's hard enough to keep safe with an OS that is actually being patched.

It is so important to keep your OS and your browsers up to date. Exploits start getting taken advantage of really quickly

Firefox doesn't work on my windows Vista. Go ahead and laugh. Vista has been the best op system I've ever used and been using it for close to 18 years. Only problem being it is getting less compatible with more websites. Had XP and 7 before and it would be a miracle getting them to last 5 even with professional help. Have had a new computer sitting here but I'm too damn lazy to hook it up.

I don't even no where to start, but when I read this, I started twitching.
