Firefox 20 is a bad joke. From now on, I am disabling automatic updates. I don't care about security from FF. I have done other things that keep me secure; I don't need bad programming messing up my browsing.

I like the flexibility of FF, but your highly frequent updates have led to mistakes, and a poor user experience. Please be more careful and release new major updates no more often than once every six months.

As for me, there is a javascript error that pops a box up, saying "Error: missing ( after for" every few seconds. Really annoying, to the degree that I might switch to Chrome.

I have a sort of this problem too.

I updated to 20.0 and it's horrible. First of all, now there are TONS of options when I right click a link or image. and they (most of them) don't work at all. For example the button in the rightclick menu for opening the image in a new tablad. Doesn't do anything!

Please, make a fix soon, Firefox is my favourite browser.

Both of you need to do some basic troubleshooting to find out the real cause of your problems related to the Firefox 20 update, which is probably an issue with an add-on you have installed.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

When in Safe Mode...

  • The status of plug-ins is not affected.
  • Custom preferences are not affected.
  • All extensions are disabled.
  • The default theme is used, without a persona.
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
  • The default toolbar layout is used.
  • The JIT Javascript compiler is disabled.
  • Hardware acceleration is disabled.

If not, see this:

Thanks. The problem was Firebug, which I updated now and it works fine.
