Because all Mozilla software has become crap. There was a time when it was fine, but now it's (unsupported) shit. Don't put it on that new dell laptop..or a PC. |

Are you running that on Win7? I was going to try it out back in 2010 on a laptop..but it had an amd processor that was not compatible at that time. Thanks.

I still have IE7 in my old Windows XP Pro. SP3. I had IE6 like until last year. I rarely use IE except for problematic web sites and MS Updates.  I will go to IE8 when IE7 is not usable with web sites and/or break. |

Browser Layout Annoyances :
IE8 lets you put the Refresh and Stop buttons back where they belong, but IE7 does not.
There is also a registry patch available for moving the Menu bar back to above the address line, which is listed for IE7 but also works with IE8.
I use IE8 on XP SP3 and on Vista SP2 machines, and use FireFox Ver 12/13/14 but not 15, as 15 seems to have deleted the option to put the Tab Bar below the other bars at the top area.
Recent Opera is interesting too, partially as it also still can be installed onto Win2K, where, IIRC, all other recent browsers cannot.

| Mozilla removed it from the normal menus in 15 but you can restore the tabs on the bottom.
Go to about:config and copy and paste this in the search: browser.tabs.OnTop and Toggle it to False.
After a bit the option itself reappears under View - Toolbars or right clicking anywhere in the toolbar area. |

> should update to IE 8 on my system?
Yes.
Not sure if you've said, but XP?
And if XP, you can't run IE 9.
And if you have IE 8, it should be kept current - whether you use it (directly) or not. (There are plenty of uses of "IE", from Windows & third-party apps, without opening IE directly.)
Whether you have (just_about_any_program_you_wish_to_name), it should be kept current - whether you use it or not. (Well just about any program that is Net facing & regularly patched for exploits.) |

In the case of IE, new (other then a new version entirely) is almost never "better".
IOW they are not adding new, or improving features of IE.
But security exploits are being fixed.
And that is why you want to keep current. |

Reappears as in ver 12/13/14 ?
I wish the F### that Mozilla would leave well enough alone !!! 
I still am grumpy at them for removing 'Bookmark All Tabs as a Group' from the Bookmark Menu, back around version 4.0 or so. - Is there a fix for THAT in about:config ? |

Bookmark All Tabs as a Group You might be able to get it back with this add-on offered by a student in Taiwan Why was Enable Bookmark All Tabs created?
After Firefox 4 ,Because less people are using the 「Bookmark All Tabs」. So it has been hidden.But I love to use 「Bookmark All Tabs」with panorama (Tab Groups), so I think it should be enable by add-on.So I download the Firefox source code, and found the way to enable the 「Bookmark All Tabs」. And try to make an Add-On. Thanks kennyluck's teach, I will try to make more Add-On
What's next for Enable Bookmark All Tabs

Thanks - will investigate.
It turns out though, that if you go [ALT]+[B] rather than mousing to make the menu appear, that the FireFox Bookmark Menu looks different, and only then it INCLUDES that option.
I was hoping for a way to make it universally included.
This was ONE of the few IE functionalities with which M$ did NOT fuck, in the revisions from version 7+ forward.
However, M$ tried to remove the menues entirely.   |
