I'll start a new thread as the other one is as old as the hills and praises Firefox, I want to blast them.
Today I upgraded Firefox, after holding off for a while, so any bugs would have been fixed. I've moved to version 56.0.4 (64 bit) and I'm disappointed, not with the browser, it seems to work fine, but because things seem to have been moved around just for the sake of moving them around.
I've always been a visual person, remembering things with stored images in my brain, I think many others use this method of remembering also, but when something is moved or renamed it makes it harder to use, especially for old fogies like me.
This was a trick of Microsoft, to make people think thy had something new, when all they had was an updated version of what they had before, but users had to learn it all again because it looked different.
But the thing that really bugs me about this new version is that my bookmarks have all been mucked about. I can't find anything now, yes the bookmark toolbar is essentially the same but the others are all hard to find, no good saying search, I've no idea what I called them, just around how far they were down the list, now I can't even find the list.
Why do these fools have to change things, just because they can, I suppose. Does not endear me to Mozilla, and I say this as someone who previously sang their praises from the rooftops.
