Firefox Fights Back - Firefox 57

Winuser · 02 Oct 2017

Except for the fact that a couple of my favorite Add-ons don't work and are no longer being updated I'm liking Firefox 57.

Yes I'm quite impressed with it as well. I prefered the rounded tabs though. The latest ones just remind me of Edge

Don't you remember the outcry against rounded tabs ?

I prefer Firefox for my own work / and gaming sys (both same system) at home and Chrome at work. This is because Chrome passwords are kept at my workplace and gaming and leisure passwords are kept at home. I am not a fan of incognito windows so I enjoy hard work at work and hard play at home.

Firefox 64-bit runs faster than Chrome on Windows 10 64-bit and that is why I prefer it here at my home office.

Edit: I wanted to add, I've been told by some programmer collegues of mine that Firefox is more safe of a web browser than Chrome is. Is it true that Chrome has more security leaks than Firefox does?

Yes I do Mike but my voice wasn't a part of the outcry. I liked the rounded tabs from the start :)

Yep I had that also yesterday. I deleted it all. Later in the day, there was an Official FireFox popup and installed the update.
