Just noticed another "visual" change

Maybe these checkboxes also?

With that sorted you could just manually update when a new version is available by downloading the setup .exe from here then install over the top of the currently installed version.

Latest Firefox released for Windows [2]

   Note

FTP Download Page:
(32-bit) Directory Listing: Directory Listing: /pub/firefox/releases/88.0/win32/en-US/
(64-bit)Directory Listing: Directory Listing: /pub/firefox/releases/88.0/win64/en-US/

I've been downloading them, from there for a year now.
Before I got them from the link here, i used to get them from here...
Download the Firefox Browser in English (US) and more than 90 other languages
I have installing them manually over top of the older version, since the FF 3.x days.

Does FileHippo or MajorGeeks have FF 85 or 86? I'm as school, so the firewall stops many things.

Older versions are downloadable from Mozilla. Used to be easy to overwrite the current one- now there's a warning and requirement to create a new user profile or some such if you try.

Just noticed 'Undo Closed Tab' has been relabelled 'ReOpen Closed Tab'

Well spotted. That's listed here:

Changes in Firefox 88 that you may have missed: View Page Info, View Image, Reopen Closed Tab, and more - gHacks Tech News

I don't have "email image" as I removed it ages ago due to accidentally clicking it too many times.

MajorGeeks does, but their download link gets it direct from Mozilla, so the firewall may still get in the way.



Mozilla themselves have every public release ever issued available to download at Directory Listing: /pub/firefox/releases/

Got all four FFs, 32 & 64, 85 & 86, thanks! :)

I just noticed this also. . .


I wondered why I kept getting Bookmarks showing up under the Address Bar, when I clicked "Open a new

tab" ? .

Lol, as you can see. . . I wonder no more. . .

That one has been around a version or three, made me wonder when I first saw it.
