Firefox 79 issues

Post by crosscourt »

Some websites that previously werent an issue are now coming up as security problems. Those same sites arent an issue for Chrome or Vivaldi so not sure whats going on. Anybody else having issues with 79?

Have not seen this myself. What's a site you're seeing issues on?

Weird, I use cnn regularly and have never had an issue with firefox on it (currently all my machines are on 79, too), and use lxer at least SOME, although not excessively and haven't noticed anything. I have never even heard of animedao, but didn't seem to have any issues when I opened it in Firefox.

I use FIrefox ESR and lxer.com just doesn't load sometimes.

No error, nothing. Other times it's OK

Well, Firefox 80 is out, so maybe they fixed all the various issues? (I have no read the changelog, and I realize it's HIGHLY unlikely)

Once FF started forcing you to have an on-line account I lost interest in the current versions. My profile - my control!

With FF since around 76 it has not been possible to re-use your old profile. It forces you to create a new one. If you want access to bookmarks etc etc from previous installs you have to have a firefox account where it's all stored "in the cloud" for "your safety and convenience"
