I dont think its much of a hassle to update.  I just cant stand the freeze ups.  When its running it runs pretty fast, but if you let it sit for a bit then come back and try to go to another page, it always freezes up.

This is why I use Google Chrome and download the portable version of FF, where it'll never ask me to download.
An eye for an eye, and the world goes blind...

Firefox used to be the shiznit, but now they suck.  Hang ups, Connection To The Server Has Been Reset, etc...

You can go into your Tools and I think Options and you can TURN OFF updates.  That's what I did, because with each update it got worse and worse.  Nothing changes that fast to warrant updates every two days.

You can also do a search on how to turn off Firefox updates.  The info is out there.   :icon_rr:

I used to use Firefox. Now I only use it once a while to take surveys. I also encountered the same problem when the browser freezes constantly. I got fed up so I use Chrome for my browsing experience ever since.

Surprisingly, I havent been having too many issues with Firefox. Granted, it hasn't been perfect. It does freeze up sometimes, but not enough to tick me off too much. But yeah, I have been thinking of switching to Chrome.

I can't decide what I hate the most....my new emachine... windows 7....IE9 or firefox.  I get so irrated when I'm looking for something, put my cursor on it and click and it takes me to some other screen that I have open.  It opens whatever I have clicked on but I need to go to the tray at the bottom of the screen and click on it again.  It's a pain in the lower extremity.     :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:

There is something I like about the new firefox, ADBLOCK PLUS. Although I have to disable it in order to use Fusion Cash which was really frustrating because I wasn't being credited for offers. Also what the heck is up with clicking on something and it opening a whole other browser?! Sometimes advancement is not really advancement at all!

Weird.....I  :heart: FireFox. I have the options of always being able to set and customize my whole computer and desktop. I've never had any problems with FF. I dislike Google Chrome and IE....they are sooooo slow!!  :angry7:
I'm sticking with FF.  :notworthy:

I was a big fan of Firefox, until extremely recently.  The script errors and hang ups drive me crazy.  Now about once or twice a night, I can count on it crashing....  UGH!!!!   However, I refuse to use IE!!!!!   Anything from the dark empire drives me crazy!   Google Chrome is slowly becoming a favorite of mine!

I've noticed that the forums aren't loading propertly for me since I upgraded to Firefox 5.

Because my email is web-based, when I do my paid email in the morning I'm starting FusionCash in a Firefox window, but after I do the email and PTC, I'm opening up an IE window to come here. Also, I've started doing the videos in IE because they haven't been crediting in Firefox.

I like FF but maybe I should use IE for the daily surveys.
