Firefox and its stupid big version numbers.

[baratron]

Firefox 6.0 is pissing me off because it seems to have lost my old default setting of "please save all my tabs when I quit Firefox" - and I can't even find that setting any more in the Preferences! I generally work with a ridiculous number of windows and tabs on the screen, often more than 50 tabs open at once. Losing my entire session when I have to close Firefox for some reason such as Flash needing to update again or yet another stupid Microsoft Office update is just TOO MUCH.

Anyone know how to fix this? I'm sure one of you does :)

I also think it's stupid the way Firefox is now updating the big number every couple of weeks - going from 4.0 to 5.0 to 6.0 instead of 4.0 to 4.1 to 4.2, but that's another rant in itself, and I don't pretend to be savvy in the ways of software numbering.

An actual post with CONTENT will follow tomorrow, when I will have hopefully recovered from my minor cold-let and no longer have a brain full of snot ;)

Someone on another thread was talking about similar stuff and they'd solved it by rolling back to Firefox 3.6.20. Apparently 4, 5 and 6 were all falling over too much. Don't know if that info is any help to you but good luck!

Firefox on my Mac is incredibly stable. It only falls over every 15 days or so :)

No, in general I'm willing to go forward and try new features - but I want the old features to still be there!
