captainsblogI can be such a stubborn idiot sometimes.
Sometime a year or so ago, I downloaded the 4.0 update to Firefox. Within minutes, there were only two words to say about it:
Hated it!
The menu buttons were in all the wrong places and couldn't be moved. Worse, one of my primary uses for the browser advised against the upgrade because of issues with electronic signing of certain documents going through it. So I forced it back into 3.whatever and just kept updating the 3's, even as they tried feeding me 5, 6, and now, somehow, already all the way up to 12.
Then they got cheeky, and stopped supporting the 3-series browser. Website after website started giving me nag notices about it not being compatible with their sites, and one by one I moved the more important ones over to Chrome. Lately, the nags have been coming, daily if not more, from Firefox itself, about the 3.whatever version no longer being supported or protected from nasties.
Und you vill LIKE it!
Actually, that "automatically updated" bit wasn't true; Xing out of the thing always prevented that but didn't stop the nags. Finally, this morning, I got tired of the whole business and just accepted my fate- and of course, it's fine.
They moved the buttons back to where I want them, actually improved the visibility and activity of a bunch of add-ons, and it seems to work fine with PACER (the court viewing system), if not the ECF filing component of it.
Maybe now I should upgrade to AOL 4.0 if they ever send me a disk for it in the mail. I hear they have 16-character screennames now!
