Latest Firefox Released for Windows

alkaufmann · 27 May 2018

I had Firefox start locking up on me this morning. When I went into the Task Manager I saw that there were 6 Firefox iterations open. I used the Task Manager to end all of them but the same thing happened every time I started Firefox. I just uninstalled it. I do like to have Firefox around because if some things don't work properly with Edge, I find they work with Firefox or vice-versa.

Thanks for pointing me to the Firefox beta.

I have downloaded the 64bit version twice now and I really hate it when the byte sizes are not the same.

It is working OK with me -so far...

I still regret the inability to use an add-on like Password Exporterc though...

This latest version of Firefox 60.0.1 keeps freezing up on me. I've read of it happening to others, but this is the first version that's done it to me.

Anyone else getting freeze-ups?

Not exactly further investigation; however, this is a dual boot machine. So, two installations of the same 32 bit version 60.0.1 32 bit on both partitions.

So, in Insider Build 17677 I was having constant freeze ups; however, I've been on my 1803 17134.81 partition all day and Firefox hasn't frozen up even once!

Kinda makes me wonder if it's not the Insider Preview 17677, rather than FF that has the problem . . . Anyone else want to give this idea a whirl?

Found a way to change the scrollbars in FF without an add on which you can do from the link below and it works great
Any way to get dark scrollbars? : firefox

And another revoltin' development!

This morning, I opened Firefox as per my usual surfing of TenForums and it froze again! Gahhhhhhhh! I checked and I still had FF 32 bit 60.0.1, but I had specifically downloaded, saved and installed 64 bit 61.0b8! What the heck???

I go into Settings and there are two, yep, two of Firefox installed! One 32 bit and one 64 bit! Gahhhhhhh again! I've now uninstalled the 32 bit version and we'll see how that goes.

Of course, I know what happened, and it wasn't what I thought would happen! Seems as how the beta version (or any other?) doesn't upgrade; it just installs itself and leaves the old one intact! Never seen that before . . .

when firefox 60.0.1 freezes, I do <win>+<ctrl>+<shift>+B (reset graphics) and it solves the problem (until next..)

I solved that with a download and install of the beta . . . works just fine and I no longer have freezes.

That's good Wynona,

64 bit would be better to use on a 64bit machine.
