Fire Fox Guru's

[Mike Cork]

I have always liked Firefox as a browser. However since getting Win 10 is doesn't work very well. I quit using it and went with IE. Well IE is slow and is driving me crazy... So I went back to play with FireFox to see if I could remember why I didn't use it anymore and see if I could fix it....

Well every site I go to it fights me with authentication issues. It literally doesn't recognize any sites certificate? Is this a setting that I can fix?

If you're using version 44, I know they removed support for RC4 decipher. I haven't tested it yet, I'm still on 43.0.1. There is also an Extended Support Release (ESR) 38.6 that I'd recommend. -Jim

Are these add ons and where do I find them?

Not add-ons, actual versions of Firefox. Go to https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases . I suggest downloading and installing 38.6.0esr https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/38.6.0esr/win32/en-US/.

I uninstalled and reinstalled version 44 and it's working. I'd of back version-ed if I seen this first. But all seems working now. Thanks for the help, if it starts action up I'll go this route.

Good to hear Mike!

The extended support releases will give you solid base for a longer period without any surprises. Updates address mainly security and functionality issues. Folks who want the latest and greatest all the time should stick to the standard release version.
