do you have it Gary

kinmel · Jun 21, 2011, 19:55:36

I have been running FF5 Betas without any problems at all and today's final is stable too. Well worth updating I.M.O.

I am also finding the next version due in September,Firefox's Aurora, is very good for software still at Alpha testing.

If you use adblock plus with easy list and easy privacy you don't need Google opt out, easy privacy does that, as for the others they will catch up, Avast and exif have not updated their plugins probably which is not Mozilla's fault. FF5 is def using less memory and is faster too with over 1000 improvements under the hood. Good update for me. Since its also a security update not much you can do really, the others will get updated soon enough. FF6 due in August

seven by the end of the year.

Niall · Jun 21, 2011, 22:45:15

Ta for that, I'll give that easyprivacy a go. I didn't know about that

It has the do not track built in as well so you don't need to activate that in firefox Niall.

just google easylist and add Easy privacy.

Niall · Jun 30, 2011, 20:21:22

Really? I ran an update check a few hours ago and there was nothing.

How strange. Even PSI says there's no update, and Firefox.

10.3.181.34 is the latest version its up on the Adobe home page, Niall. Reported on File Hippo too

Niall · Jun 30, 2011, 20:27:24

Oh yeah, I know, I'm just installing it now. I was just baffled as normally the programs I run check this and update it when one is available, but neither Firefox or PSI is seeing an update. Most odd.

Thanks Gary. Now I'm not feeling very bright this morning (heavy cold). Should I simply install over the version 10,3,181,26 I have now or should I uninstall Flash first? Windows XP, mostly using Opera.

Rik · Aug 10, 2011, 11:42:14

I usually install over.

dudwell · Aug 10, 2011, 11:47:08

Thanks Rik, I'll install over.

Simon · Aug 10, 2011, 11:47:29

Same here.
