Firefox and Seamonkey forced ugrade installations and browser restarts. Seamonkey completely broke on its mandatory upgrade, and I had to re-install. Now both browsers launch, but neither work. They are broken beyond repair, javascript doesn’t work, css is worse (you couldn’t really say it worked before), and you can’t even properly configure javascript. To top it all off, popups aren’t blocked by default. Oh yeah, many extensions are broken as well.
Looks like I’m going back to IE. I’m downloading Opera now. I’m certainly not going to support anything from the Mozilla Foundation Corporation for at least 6 months.
My guess is that there was a major security vulnerability discovered (but not disclosed) that in their minds, justified forcing such draconian and idiotic measures on the users. However, not even Microsoft forces installation unless you select it. Maybe I should blame windows for allowing these crap applications to infiltrate my computer.
Don’t use Firefox 2.0.11 or Seamonkey 1.1.7. They are broken beyond use. Not since the early milestones has it been this bad.
