Super Fast Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'm using chrome regularly(even though I don't like it) because firefox is so slow. I have done clean installs and even tried it on a fresh windows install. Chrome does some weird stuff but it has been nice having synched bookmarks between my phone, tablet, desktop, and laptop. Hmmmm.... I believe FF also has sync... Orange FF button/Setup sync. Tell me more. What are your PC specs (CPU/GPU/RAM/HDD size) as well as your OS? Also, what version of FF are you using?

Moderators Nergal Posted October 11, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks Shane. chrome sync runs constantly Firefox syncs at intervals while Firefox is running only ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators mta Posted November 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 22, 2012 anyone know Mozilla's version numbering convention?. they seem to like to jump to a major release number when a minor increment would do - as far as the normal standard of versioning goes. went from 16 to a couple of minors .1 & .2, then straight to 17. which would normally indicate a major release - something new. at this rate they'll be up to version 40 in a few years Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.

TheWebAtom Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 anyone know Mozilla's version numbering convention?. Google discovered that, to the average user; higher version number = better. Mozilla are just copying Chrome's versioning system (and accelerating it) to give the illusion of being a more advanced and progressive browser. The eventual goal is to eliminate version numbers entirely. Stack Exchange founder Jeff Atwood has an excellent piece titled The Infinite Version. It's well worth a read. I'm Shane.

Corona Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 17.0 doesn't support Tabs Mix Plus, one of my mainstay add-ons. I'll wait till 17.1 to see if it's resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted November 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 22, 2012 at this rate they'll be up to version 40 in a few years If they were to release one new major version number per month it would only take 23 months to have a v40.

Moderators mta Posted April 4, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) could have sworn there was a thread for new FF releases but couldn't find it. So... new Firefox version 20.0 released, about 3 days ago I think.
