I'm at 33.1.1:

Q: Why so much resource usage (CrapCleaner: FF cache 185K???) Previous flavors not SO much!

Q: When I am inside an email, and click on a link to go some other place...NO GO! (Yet IE will allow it) Why?

Q: When I click on the red 'X' to close the program, how come I have to go thru CrapCleaner to do so? AND it is a force closure!

Q: Why is SSL being disabled at FF34 on 11-25-14 because of "poodle": not fixed yet? IF SSL is disabled, how can I do O/L

    banking safely (because of SSL [aka: https] ?

Guys, it seems like the product is going down hill and I feel disappointed at this time because I REALLY like FF; PLEASE don't let it go astray!!

Chosen solution

Clicking on X on title bar closes that one open window and not the program.

SSL 3.0 does not equal https:// as the SSL 3.0 is no longer the minimum in Firefox 34.0 as it will use TLS 1.0 as minimum.

You can change this in Firefox 33.0 in about:config by modify security.tls.version.min from 0 to 1 as this will make TLS 1.0 be the minimum instead of SSL 3.0.

Also not a good idea to use CCleaner aks a crap cleaner to clean anything Firefox related as it can cause problems and Firefox can up its own files just fine.
