    Need help/advice looking for a Browser replacement for FF.


    Hi,

    Need help/advice looking for a Browser replacement for FF.

    Some of my wishes are:
    Ability to import & export log-ins & passwords in the std CSV format.
    Use my own home pg as the page I see when I call up the browser.
    Set the browser to send downloads to my warehouse folder.
    Set up plug ins & extensions similar to Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin & Save Page WE
    Ability to customize the menu bar

    :)

  2. New FF - passwords

    Hi:

    If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

    Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help


    • Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
    • Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

    Thanks,
    MM

  3. advice on browser change

    FWIW, Fx also has a sync feature.

    Sync can be both a blessing and a curse, especially for Chrome/Google.
    We see lots of infected computers in the malware removal fora in which "sync" results in stubbornly persistent malware that continues to respawn on the user's computers.
    I don't need it and -- largely for that reason, I don't use it. But some folks can't live without it...

    As you mention an "old" Firefox profile, I suspect that is the root cause of your performance degradation.
    I suggest walking through the steps in the tutorial I mentioned in my earlier reply.
    As a first step, Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode) is a reversible debugging step that helps to isolate the problem to add-ons. It provides guidance in the direction to take to resolve the performance issue.

    For the record, one can certainly install several different browsers on the same computer. A user is not limited to only one browser.
    The only downside to that approach is that -- for security and stability -- one needs to be sure to keep each browser (and its add-ons) fully patched and updated.

    Cheers,
    MM

    Advice on replacement of E65

    That is an idea. Have a look and see what you can get your hands on, then list then here so we can critique them for you. Alternatively you can also use Nokia's phone selection tool on their Europe website. Click on this
    link
    to get to it. On this page you will see a list of functions. Just select the ones you want and it should give you a few suggestions.



    One thing you did not mention on your list of requirement is form, feel and appearance. Thius is very important to most people. Some prefer monoblock, others prefer sliders etc. Then there is screen size, buttons or touchscreen etc.. Best thing is to shortlist,
    get advice then call ionto a shop to touch and feel and then finally, buy.
