Windows 10: Firefox Update Leaves old version on system

You have a choice to use a VPN, but what I am saying is that The new version of Firefox is far superior than any prior release you also had a choice whether to upgrade to Win 10 or not to. You also have a choice to use Linux,

DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD.

The Choice is yours and only yours. MS did not twist your arm to get Windows 10 and there are methods to minimize the spying, MS is not doing it to snoop on you, they use the data to improve their product. Chrome , I cannot speak to as I only used it for 5 minutes. When I saw that there were chrome processes running after I exited chrome and restarted my PC I removed it.

 

We don't need CONSTANT improvements, we need stability. That's why it's important to give a lot of thought to design before development, which is precisely what sware vendors don't do.

 

Stability comes with improvements/

 

If stability REQUIRES improvements, it is not stability.

 

Not with the release you are using. Try Firefox 57 it is stable . But do what you want , I have used Firefox since it first came out as Phoenix-I do know a little about it.

 

Been on FF 57 for the past several hours and I do find it to be a major improvement, very stable and the add-ons I use are working just fine with it.......Thanks for the recommendation Josey.......

 

Glad it is working for you

 

Constantly changing... what? Have you tried Edge at least once? The latest version that comes with build 1703 is awesome, supports a lot of extensions (including Ublock Origin YESS) and it's quite stable and fast, besides the UI changes are really minimal (And add, in exchange, new features that are useful)... also, what spying? If you are so concerned, disable smartscreen, but honestly, I woudn't, as it can prevent remote attacks and fishy stuff from the net to sneaking into your system.

I mean, I use Chrome, Edge, Firefox and IE, and honestly, besides Firefox having memory issues (at least the 32 bit version), Edge is quite stable...

I mean, why bashing a browser, if you haven't tried it?
