- b.c.,
Awhile back, in the "What Pisses You Off" thread, I posted this below:
Well now, FireFUCK is deserving of its own thread. Though I probably have only myself to blame for my recent ordeal with them.
I've been running an older version because it was set up just the way I wanted it. The pain in the ass problem I described above was solved by a release add-on they eventually provided, that restored the function of my add ons.
That was until tonight when somehow I fkd around and upgraded FireFUCK to the latest release. I instantly HATED IT.
I had to reset all of my browser settings and options, and no matter what I did, I couldn't get rid of this annoying search box that pops up when you start to type in a site address. Hell, if I needed to search something, I'd go to a search ENGINE. I don't need a s4arch box popping up when I go to type an address. Fuck meeeee!
And the new release didn't even carry over all of my saved bookmarks.
What's more it had these horrible looking squared off tabs. What Einstein dreamt THAT up, I wonder.
So I tried to remedy all of that by reinstalling an older version of Firefuck, only, the latest version of one of the add-ons I use (a nifty video downloader) was not compatible with the older browser (It apparently lost the older version when FireFUCK updated).
Anyway, it took me all night trying to tweak this thing, unsuccessfully looking for older versions of the add-on, etc. I finally had to settle on a new enough version of FireFUCK to accept the add-on, then I manually changed the tabs to the more pleasing rounded tabs I was used to seeing.
What a shit show!
Btw. Here's where you can find older versions of FireFUCK:
Install an older version of Firefox | Firefox Help
And here's how to get rid of those shitty looking squared off tabs:

FireFuck, THAT'S what.
Seems just when Firefox settles down to something resembling smooth operation, they go and fuck it up! All of a sudden my ad-ons were gone. Or more accurately "disabled." Including my ad blocker and online security programs provided by my virus/malware programs. None of them working now.
And they know they've fucked up: Add-ons disabled or fail to install on Firefox | Mozilla Support
