What happened to Mozilla?

[nac]

The latest build really sucks... For the past few weeks there is no option to pause the file downloading using videodownloadhelper plugin. Now, downloading file is not showing. Have to view them in history. No option to see the progress of download. Out of frustration I cancelled the download by force closing browser. To add fuel in the fire, when I started a new session, those cancelled downloads are downloading automatically. I have set browser not to remember anything. WTF!!! Not suppose to remember anything, it didn't stop there and go on downloading the things I cancelled. I couldn't stop it... I had to close the browser to stop downloading. But again, it will start on its own when I open the browser. Removed the plugin, no help. Run CCCleaner, no help. Checked the options and cleared the history, no help. Now, I can't even use the fxxxxx browser. It's really annoying...

Waterfox?

it is advertised as 64 bit version of firefox. But it is really a ram hog.
also, it seems, mozilla had tried a 64 bit version of firefox but was not any better than the current 32bit. Probably the reason they have skipped the 64 bit public version.

Ah thanks for the input mate.

If you are using any recent Windows version and a recent hardware configuration try Palemoon.

Unplug Internet

Oh yea. I will keep this tip in mind next time!

 

[nac]

Waterfox, Palemoon??? I haven't heard about these browsers before.

Plugins? or you installed any new plugin recently that caused this issue?

No, new plugins.
Reset the browser, and it stopped those annoying downloads.

Does Chrome have the same option ?

 

[Roopatg]

While coming to browser,I prefer to use Google chrome and torch browsers.These are very user friendly.

 

[ankush28]

If it's giving this much problems then uninstall it! There are hell lot of browsers out there. Try Chrome.

 

[srkmish]

Not using it anymore. Gave me a headache after not starting at all. Somehow i reset it in safe mode and was able to access. Now its not able to download anything or go to options. I checked for threads on internet. Few others had the same problem and i followed the steps outlined to no avail. Unreliable browser. Using chrome now.

To disable that

1. Type about:config in url and open.

2. Toggle app.update.enabled to false.
