fortytwo Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Strange. This morning my Firefox browser on my HP Envy with Win 7 would not connect to the internet. My Android tablet and my old Gateway laptop with Win 7 continued to function normally. Had to uninstall Firefox and download another copy to get the Envy back on the net. No virus I can identify. No problems so far with the new copy. As I said - strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat & Pete Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 FF has become pretty bloated , IMO . Many , many times I had to 'do something' about FF to make it work . I use to run FF , too . My wife abandoned it and is using Chrome . I run Aviator ( a more secure Chrome style browser ) . Good Luck . Goes around , comes around .

skp51443 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 We have had very good luck with Chrome since dumping Firefox. We are experimenting with a bit different privacy tool than we have used before, Privacy Badger. It does a good job of blocking the worst ads and aggravations with the least user input needed to get things working. An ad blocker, Ghostery and a script blocker will stop a lot more but at the expense of needing a good bit of user input to get the sites you visit to work well.

HamRad Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I'm with Biker56. FF is working great and has been for a long time. I use it on my MacBook Pro.
