I would love to switch back to Firefox, but, to be honest, the rapid relase cycle really annoys me. I would love to head back, if Mozilla switched to a more stable release cycle - or at least to updates, that don't interupt me everytime I start the browser up.
But I'll give it a try.
- LeonidasXIV 14y agoYou can use Firefox ESR, also by Mozilla.
- dochtman 14y agoThe update nagging has been much reduce since the start of the rapid release cycle, so you should definitely give it a try.
- jagermo 14y agoThanks all, I will.
- keeperofdakeys 14y agoI believe Firefox now has mostly silent updates, just like Chrome does. At least, I don't usually notice it updating. It does however require (automatically) installing a service (in Windows), since it's installed on the system, and not in the user directory, like Chrome is.
- cpeterso 14y agoIf you set the about:config pref "app.update.silent" to true, Firefox should never show you an update dialog. A Mozilla user study showed that most Firefox users restarted their browser at least once a day, so the update dialog usually waits something like 12 or 24 hours. By then, most users will have restarted their browser without needing to be prodded. http://kb.mozillazine.org/App.update.silent http://kb.mozillazine.org/App.update.silent
