@ agyat	:	(19 April 2013 - 02:52 AM) There may be two possible answers for that .... 1) Shout was posted using mobile keypad. 2) To force people read content carefully and/or with more concentration.

[quote name="starscream" post="156608" timestamp="1309100860"] That's weird. I'm one of those who never got pop-up or even window that says i need to upgrade. In fact many of my friends found out that for them it was auto updated but not for me. I guess it depends on internet connection. Firefox detects the speed or the settings with which we're using the computer and based on that they either create pop-up window or download and automatically install the software. Not sure why both these things don't apply to me here but i guess this is because of the settings in about:config perhaps ? not sure from my side. Few things i noticed about Firefox that few plugins like nofollow plugin, SEO quake and few others are not yet updated. So i take that we should better wait for these plugins and wait for updates in between. As for privacy based settings on need to only enable it in options. In order to make those settings you can follow these steps. 1. Go to Tools Menu and Click Options 2. Click on Privacy tab. 3. Check option - 'Tell websites that i do not want to be tracked'. 4. Click on Permanent secure browsing mode. 5. In permanent secure browsing mode, cookies are not stored and you have to login everytime you close the browser, so make selections carefully. 6. Click Ok and close the window. Once browser is restarted you can see the settings loaded default everytime you start firefox. From these settings you'll be in more secure browsing and with proxy or do not track type of search engines, you can get more privacy. So for those who are working in their office will find it much better to work with these settings. None of their cookies and logins are stored. Also websites can't collect geographic and other targeted data from the user of this firefox profile from now on. So that gives one a good privacy option inside firefox. Another improvement in firefox is that you can have tabs group. So if you want to browse favorite websites and work related websites then you can make a group of it and switch between the groups whenever needed. this maybe a good idea for those who work on browser whole day. I guess these features are going to make firefox consume more memory. So plugin_container.exe and other performance issues are going to be there for sure.[/quote] [quote name="starscream" post="156608" timestamp="1309100860"] That's weird.

Topic Summary

They are trying to minimize the menu stuff and the icon for quite some time. I mean i don't like chrome for the same reason. It needs single click to access multiple options and this is very painful. I know that compared to firefox they have a minimal set of features and interface too. But they annoy a lot because they present less options and single page looks more cluttered.

As of now Firefox is in process of reaching version 11. I find it hard to maintain their useless release pattern. As I am using linux so ubuntu is saving me from the reelase cycle hell as base browser is firefox and there are hardly any updates for it. Maybe there is manual upgrade option but I am not going for it as of now. Just skipping it so far. I think with ubuntu 12/04 maybe i have to upgrade at the end of the day anyway.

They have new version and lot of changes like HTML5 changes in new browser. Their javascript and html5 test console is good. It makes me want to use it on old version too but can't use it. Javascript support for the mozzila's product is quite good. I wonder why they're behind javascript compared to any other web based languages. Anyway looking forward to their apps service and mobile phone os with browser built in, on that point i'll open thread in future.

When I installed Firefox some time ago, can't remember which version, it was strange for me that it had a top left corner icon to open the menu like Opera, as I am not firefox user, but seems that all browsers tries to use the best practices or something like that.

Gmail issue with the firefox and other browsers is because of the google and not firefox. Google is forcing users to use gmail. I have noticed that experience of javascript loading is much slower in FF compared to chrome. I can compare that with other browser and see the same result. I guess it is because of the chrome. Not only that it is also taking add-on trouble like FF had. I think there are many bad things going last 2-3 versions of the FF. I can put them one by one.

In any case I don't like the rapid release cycle. I mean what is the point of the release if it is slow and buggy. FF has yet to resolve the issue. It is good to see that flash is going out this year but still i would love to see HTML5 progress or else the slowness of the plugins will make ff almost unusable. Another thing is some rapid releases that makes major version changes like 3-5 and 9 are forced. I used to get the dialog box earlier but now a days it is forced upgrade and ff becomes slow in the background to force the upgrade.

Not happy with at all. I used Ironbrowser these days along with opera and only issue is with ad tracker and blocker. If i get that in opera or any other browser then I am free to move to another browser.

You should encourage your friend to Upgrade...

Of course. However, quite a lot of applications work only with IE6. For professional purposes these people need to stick with IE6.
And, of course, I just wanted to show that the PC and the router are able to reach the modern-stytle websites, and I'm happy that this demonstration was possible without touching the Crosoft install by itself.

Today"s funny thing.
My friend could not connect to his gmail mailbox.
I came with my Firefoxportable on my USB stick, and I showed him how to use it.
So he could simply use the Portable Firefox where his PC's Windows Internet Explorer could not work correctly.
So, a fast diagnosis without installing or uninstalling everything.
Then I said :
"You have two solutions :
1) You upgrade your IE version to a more modern one, but you could have problem with your favourite websites which work correctly with IE6 only
2) You work with my portable Firefox version, if you happen to not love it any more, simply remove the folder."

IE 6? that's ancient, i remember last time i use IE 6 was a couple of years agon on Linux... it was for testing Websites, was known as IE4Linux

You should encourage your friend to Upgrade...

I'm not surprised browsers will adapt to chrome's simple layout... Opera now comes default (on Windows) without the menu bar... Chrome rocks

firefox portable... what do you use portable firefox on? and why? i'm just curious...

When I am on a friend's computer, I don't want to install things, putting strange things in the Windows Registry. That's why I use the portable version of Firefox.
If my firefox does not work any more, I simply remove the files from the PC and I am back to the previous stage.
If I want to debug, I uncompress the original file and check that evrything is OK again. Then I add my "profile" folder, and see that nothing works again. Which means that the problem is coming from my own local settings.
