i tried to click the forum's "actions", then "approval", but, when i clicked "approval", nothing happened.. i wonder if that is because of a bug in the new FF 20, or, is it a bug with the forum?

That's always been the result I've gotten when I've tried to give approval to an anonymous user -- in Firefox at least. I've assumed that DSLR doesn't support giving approval to anonymous users.

Re: Firefox 20.0 Released

It's probably set up on a forum-by-forum basis. It works on some of the other forums...the difference is that everyone can see it.

Re: Firefox 20.0 Released

Why do they insist in having a full new version numbers just for bug fix releases? The way things are going in a couple years we'll have FireFox version 99 or some ridiculous number!

To keep up with Chrome. Chrome's crazy high version numbers made Firefox look like it was standing still so they decided to implement a similar versioning scheme. It's still silly though...

SeaMonkey 2.17 will no longer offer to migrate your data from SeaMonkey 1.x or Mozilla 1.x at the first start after installation (bug 689437). In order to upgrade from such an old version, install the last SeaMonkey 2.0 release first, do the one-time profile upgrade, uninstall SeaMonkey 2.0 and then install your target release (e.g. this one).

Users who have old profiles (like me, e.g.) be careful with this one...

Re: Firefox 20.0 Released

I've also went into about:config and turned "datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled" to False to make sure it doesn't send data out on it's own as well. This coupled with that awful new download manager and previous indications of Mozilla going downhill and getting as bad as Chrome is becoming more and more evident.

I haven't seen the Firefox download manger in years. I replaced it with Download Statusbar and never looked back.

I'm reading elsewhere that those that have saved backups of prior builds are reverting

See previous comments in thread.
As for others, they would have their own specific reasons.

Links to what, the backups you have made ?
Otherwise all versions of FF can be found at ... Mozilla .

I've read through the thread but don't get the point.

Because of the security fixes that are included?
Because of the telemetry data, which is not enabled - by default?

Because users might use their browser to browse Facebook or might use Google Search?
And yet they'll worry about TD (...TigerDirect...?).

Do these reverters even know TD?
Do they even know how long TD in some sort or another has been there?

It's not new.

It was previously under
Advanced > General > "Submit performance data" along with "Submit crash reports".

Those options now have their own tab - "Data Choices".

... explore your link (Telemetry - "Learn more").

Appreciate your information. As noted on the Moz board I'm still a relative noob.

Will read your information to see if I can gather some clarity in the matter.

Upgraded work machine this morning, and now the browser is not working.
Type an address, hit enter nothing happens. Hit the little green "goto" arrow, nothing happens.
Am now using chrome.
