FireFox Update Download Problems Cont

David Russell <david.sonofhashem@...>
Hi All,
I did a system restore and am back on FF52. Emails could not be read that I compose, and my signature line could not be read either. I had to forward tab once to read email in the inbox. So, whatever advances have been made, benefit me little. I don't know a lot about configuring computers to work in the manner to which I am accustom. I understand there is a support group from Texas that deals with accessibility issues on a more personal level. Does anyone have contact info for them or such a group or service? I cannot afford to update if it limits my known capabilities. Thanks! -- David Russell david.sonofhashem@... |

The choice isn't to use the old version or a new
version exclusively. You can use the version you are using now for e-mail
and you can use the current version, run as a portable version for general
browsing. I haven't had problems with the current version of Firefox as
far as accessibility is concerned. I assume you know that older versions
of browsers are more vulnerable to security exploits that allow malicious sites
to download malware and do other things to compromise your machine and steal
personal information.
That's why I am advising that you use a portable
current version for general browsing and the 52.x version for e-mail.
You don't need to join another group to do
this. Many people on the list use portable Firefox and can give you
information.
I'm not saying you shouldn't join the group you are
discussing, there's nothing wrong with having more resources if you want them,
I'm saying for what I am discussing, you can get all the information you need
here.

I do not use webmail but those who do tell me a lot of these issues have not been seen in the 64 bit version of Firefox latest builds.

Also if you want a more secure browser then get waterfox. It seems to be being updated but is based on the old rendering engine of mozilla. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.
