Plethora of broken Firefox addons

Andy, I do have a right to complain. Ofcourse you have. The question is, /why/ are you complaining ? You have not payed for the product, and you are free to choose any other you like better. I tried using version 56 which is supposed to work with Reminder Fox. When I tried using it, FF automatically tried doing an upgrade even when I had autoupgrade turned off. I had to disconnect my internet in order to change the autoupgrade option. I don't get it: You had that autoupgrade turned off, but than you had to do it again ? And having to "disconnect my internet" to be able to change it ? Whut ? tl;dr: Don't complain about stuff you cannot change. Try to find solutions or work arounds for what bothers you - or find yourself another product ofcourse. And do as Paul mentioned: Install FireFox with "the internet" disconnected (1). That gives you, on first usage, the chance to change its settings before it already acts on them. Better make notes of it too, so you can use them the next time you (re)install a FireFox browser. (1) might be a good idea for other, including non-mozilla, products too. And yes, thats, among others, a nuissance that goes back quite a few versions. :-( Hint: You might find some already figured out "install scripts" online. Saves you the bother of having to figure all the settings out and writing one yourself. Regards, Rudy Wieser Ofcourse you have. The question is, /why/ are you complaining ? You have not payed for the product, and you are free to choose any other you like better. There are tons of freeware/shareware products that nice folks write and share. I have done so in the past. Whether someone pays for it is not Germain to the topic. Andy |

Andy,
There are tons of freeware/shareware products that nice folks write and share. I have done so in the past. Whether someone pays for it is not Germain to the topic. You did not answer my question. /Why/ are you complaining ? And why are you doing that to /us/ (and not to Mozilla) ? Are you trying to create a rally or something ? A big enough group of people so that Mozilla doesn't have any other choice than to bow to your wishes ? In that case I must disappoint you: this newsgroup is /way/ to small for that. So again, /why/ are you complaining (here) ? Bottom line (again): Look for solutions and/or work arounds. You /could/ even ask us for help with that (other than the pointers I already gave I mean) ... Easiest solution for your particular "problem" : Use an earlier version of FF, which still does support those plugins you just cannot live without. Case closed. Regards, Rudy Wieser |
