Today's update
Today's update
I did not understand that it was going to replace ff 56 with ff 57. Ok, it is fast, but speed isn't everything. Will look at Palemoon. Happy Thanksgiving.

Firefox 57 crashes
I had to go back to Firefox 56. 57 crashes every time I try to sign in to Amazon. Anybody else get that problem?

Nope, try to clear the cookies on that site (in general because this is a big update it might be better to start with an entire new profile).MX<3 wrote:I had to go back to Firefox 56. 57 crashes every time I try to sign in to Amazon. Anybody else get that problem?

might be due to track protection, a shield appears on the left most in the url address bar. click on the shield icon and select disable protection.

Re: Today's update
I agree with dolphin_oracle,
I have always liked the esr approach, ff and chrome started a too fast release cycle. The esr avoids unnecessary UI changes, just security fixes.
I am using the esr 52 now on MX 17. I have the new quantum on work and wife's win 7 systems, where it seems good.Post by dolphin_oracle » 23 Nov 2017 11:22

I've actually switched to Opera on my smaller machines which, though quirky in its bookmark handling IMO, is fast and clean.

I clear Everything, including Cookies, every time I close the Browser. Just a habit.might be due to track protection, a shield appears on the left most in the url address bar. click on the shield icon and select disable protection.
I don't use any Private sessions or Tracking Protection either. Amazon added a Captcha to the Logins and that's where it crashes I think.
Yeah, Opera is pretty good. Not as good as it used to be but It's a solid browser.I've actually switched to Opera on my smaller machines which, though quirky in its bookmark handling IMO, is fast and clean.
Unfortunately, it can't use WideVine Decryption Module. (I think that's what it's called) Amazon uses it for their Prime Video streaming. I can't use Opera for it.
I'm sure it'll get fixed soon. Amazon is a big site to loose for Linux users. And 56 works fine, right now. Mozilla provides a link to the Tar/bz of it in their help area. I guess they know Quantum has issues...

Re: Today's update
Maybe that's why it didn't crash for me, I don't see that captcha. I even tried in a private session (that would not have any cookie, right?)I don't use any Private sessions or Tracking Protection either. Amazon added a Captcha to the Logins and that's where it crashes I think.
