Firefox-Users, beware: Firefox 16 has been pulled back
 

German edition of Der Spiegel reports that Mozilla has pulled back the recent release of Firefox 16.

http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/s...-a-860655.html (German).

Those of you who already downloaded it, be informed that it is infested with a high risk security breach.

Main advantage of version 16 should have been that the excessive hunger for memory, and stress on system resources should have been somewhat tamed. Beside security breaches I suffered, the enormous workload on the system resources was what has driven me away from the early versions of Firefox long time ago.

To me this is just another indication that the once messianic reputation of Firefox has meanwhile faded. Welcome in the ordinary browser world, Firefox.

Good!

Tried it, thought it was a load of garbage:/\\!!, went back to an older version and I'm not letting it upgrade!:smug:

Mike.:)

I rarely update Firefox between version numbers until it starts nagging me, primarily because their first releases are nearly always broken.

Thanks for the info :yep:

Not a fun boy of firebox(mostly MS user here) but it seems that by pulling out the upgrade the company tries to live to their reputation.

Still on 15.0.1 :D

Same here.
Only upgrade to the next version when a newer version of the next version comes out. The next version should be patched nicely till then

Mine updated to 16 and within ten minutes it was solidly freezing. Switched over to Chrome now and I'm not regretting it, much smoother imo.

@ the chick in Dowly's sig!

The last good firefox was firefox 3.6...............

Those guys messed up big time, and they have lost my business.

I'm sorry, but first you guys kill thunderbird, forcing me to go back to Outlook, now you guys mess up firefox (though to be honest, I left at around firefox 5)

I'd switch to Chrome but it lacks a functioning Noscript. :/\\!!

Still on 14.0.1 :D

...and happy with it.
