Yes, it killed the Kaspersky add-ons again, they are not signed apparently.

Update 43.0.1 shagged my computer! After updating, there is some kind of conflict between the browser program and something called NVIDIA Network Access manager, causing Firefox 43.0.1 to constantly crash. Strange that the previously Firefox brower worked perfectly.
The NAM program although on the add/delete programs list within the control panel will not uninstall (as i have been advised to do) and there seems no way around this. As a final resort, i am trying to find the registry values of this (for want of a better word) 'firewall' - which essentially what it is, but i'm not having much luck. I figure that if i delete the registry values of this program, then maybe, i can uninstall it from the add/delete programs facility in the control panel, which at this time, i am currently unable to do. Anyone out there having similar issues? I'm still running Windows XP x64PRO as some of the programs on my computer won't run on anything newer. |

I'm surprised anyone still uses Firefox. It's shocking how bad and bloated it now is.
Safari all the way for me these days. |

Nothing wrong with FF on my laptop. It starts up in 8 seconds. Pages render almost instantly. |

I'll use this latest release and see if it's as stable and 'light' as Chrome. I stopped using Firefox a while ago because of it freezing/crashing when on Flash intensive pages.

v44.0 has crashed at least four times since I installed it this afternoon. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Does firefox not check for updates automatically?
It is the only browser where people always seem to post that there are updates? |

Firefox users care about Firefox.
Was only joking really. Of course, many turn off auto updates. I do for sure. Still it has always amused me it is only Firefox Users that do this though, never any other browser. Obviously a close knit community! |
