Done it .. its working fine for me at home (stuck with i.e at work ) but I only had a brief spell of the press f5 to for your post to appear.

oh, I'm on 13 and didn't even know it. I wonder when that happened. Is that what cured the AB problems?
|
|
its when the home screen changed from grey white to beige and gave you the mutipage option thingy when you open a new tab
|
|
oh yes, I think I saw that. Why didn't it just say "You're now on FF 13"?

unlucky number, i suppose, seeks to defer bad omens by wearing beige

It doesn't like scaring the superstitious it wanted to get to 14 without anyone noticing

Hi Ed, I thought I had given folk advance notification that FF 13 was available from 5th June. Anyway, that apart, I would think that ABers who were on FF12 will have received FF13 as an Automatic Update and have no cause for complaint, as everything appears to be working well. (it is for me)
Incidentally, there's not long to wait for further up-dated versions of Firefox.:-
14....July 17th
15....Aug.28th
16....Oct 9th

When I opened Firefox yesterday it automatically updated to 13. Then the problems began. I posted a thread yesterday and it drew quite a few comments that AB was not functioning properly. Was this a coincidence? However, I downgraded back to version 12 and things were fine. Today when I switched on, Firefox again tried to automatically update to 13. I prevented it. I am happy with 12 right now.

sir.prize...It may have been coincidental. Let's wait to see if there are any other Aber's who have adverse comments about FF13.
It's my opinion, as a non techie, Firefox will keep trying to up-date your system to FF13, and may even do so, unless you programme your computer for FF 'Never check for up-dates'.

I went from FF11 to FF13 and have no problems that I am aware of.

I've noticed that it doesn't always seem to refresh the page (latest posts) automatically and a few times I've had to click things twice as it doesn't seem to respond the first time.

Adobe flash player keeps failing on firefox

Thanks Ron. Once again I notice that the little circle goes round and round and round and it is taking ages to load. I think perhaps there is a problem not related to Firefox. AVG and Malware bytes are both saying everything is fine. Perhaps I will let Firefox update to version 13 and see what happens . . .

When using Google - after clicking on a link the circle goes round and round etc

EB....I think I know what you mean and, if I understand things correctly, the same position prevails with Intenet Explorer and Google; not a fault with Firefox, but a natural time lag.

Flash player crashed twice yesterday, other than that I've had no problems since I updated from 12 a couple of weeks ago.

Question Author
Flash player seems to be an issue for FF13 - but it's not our fault :)

Wrong again, Ron, IE9 does actually auto update, shame about the other browsers, but they'll catch up when they're a stable browser.

Hi Nibble, I do sometimes (perhaps often) get things wrong,but I regret being unable to follow what you are saying. In fact, I cannot detect any difference between IE and FF on what I think is the issue raised by EB. Consequently I would value your further comments.
Incidentally, I am posting at present from my Laptop into which I have installed Firefox Beta 14; just to get an idea of what the future holds for FF fans. I have retained FF 13 in my Desktop which is my regularly used computer.
At the moment FFbeta 14 is giving me no cause for complaint whilst being used on Answerbank. All is working well.......providing there is no problem when I hit the submit button,
Ron.
