I just updated mine on the 14 and firefox is just about the only thing that worked right after that. I am still anxious to read an explanation. Although interesting, it is not directly related to the sequence of events I summarized with reference to my latest upgrade to 3.0.4. was superior on this issue, it also has come out on the forum that 3.1 will include a new option that will enable restoring 2.x.x-type behavior for the smart location bar.īut all that is simply an academic debate. As additional evidence that this was a step in the wrong direction and that 2.x.x. Much of the discussion revolved around how to make 3.x.x behave more like 2.x.x. Some changes, in the opinion of many users, DID make 3.x.x "worse" and not "better." I refer to the operation of the "smart location bar." This can be documented by checking the Firefox forum:Ī search on "smart location bar" will reveal numerous complaints regarding 3.x.x. That I have yet to read.Īs far as Firefox having "gotten better not worse," I stand by what I said at the beginning of my opening paragraph in my first post. If the problem is not Firefox, I am, of course, open to another explanation of the problem. However, the chain of events I related do prima facie indicate a problem with Firefox (not yum I never suggested yum might be at fault). After all, from a statistical standpoint based on how many changes are actually made, something has to be improved with a new version. They very well might represent improvement. You mentioned increased speed and fewer freeze-ups. I believe it's gotten better not worse as you claim. The only part where I flat-out disagree with you concerns Firefox's reliability. I don't even know how to install the Totem plugins.Īnother question might be: Is it time to switch to SeaMonkey? I guess the simplest question to ask after my tirade of complaints is this: is there a way to make Firefox 3.0.4 read and use the plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins? Then I would not have to create the plugins directory in the Firefox directory and reinstall ALL the plugins. I had to manually change the command line in the properties to access the new Firefox program! Then, just to rub salt into the wound, the Firefox icon on the Gnome panel no longer worked. "about:plugins" revealed that NO plugins were currently installed. Not only are the old faithful Totem plugins missing, but the whole /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/plugins directory is completely gone!!! Now, just last night, yum installed Firefox-3.0.4. But updates certainly should not destroy or delete existing plugins in the Firefox plugins directory. I also think that Firefox used to be able to read the duplicate set of plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. They were still in the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory, but they were no longer in the. When I got the update for 3.0.2 a while back, I discovered that although there were still a bunch of Totem plugins in the /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.2/plugins directory, my Flash, Adobe Reader, mozplugger, and Java plugins were now missing. Back in the "old days" with Firefox 2.x.x., the Firefox updates through yum worked beautifully: the plugins were uneffected (i.e., still worked without having to be reinstalled), and the Firefox icon in the Gnome panel still executed the program. I agreed, but my complaint right now is a little different. There has been considerable forum discussion of certain behaviors of 3.x.x that represent changes from 2.x.x that made Firefox worse rather than better. I am becoming increasingly disappointed in Firefox.
