Firefox Developer Edition8520.12.20

Why does Macintosh version always revert to using YAHOOOO as the internet search engine regardless of how many times i select GOOGLE ?

Oh, perhaps because development of FireFox is paid/sponsored by YAHOOOO.

Because of all the recent tweeking FireFox only deserves a one star rating.

Despite this serious flaw still use FireFox as my default browser.

What's with all this tweaking recently by Safari and FireFox?

Hopefully FireFox gets better. I absolutely hate the last version with it's default to yahoooo search engine no matter how many times i've shut that selection off. At this point of time i give up on FireFox and have reluctantly switched to Safari . I strongly believe that FireFox is being funded by yahooo and the developers of FireFox are bending to the wishes of yahoo and are no longer an innovative completely independent browser developers. The developers of FireFox should issue their browsers Mac OS specific rather then, oh, this should work regardless which Mac OS you are using.

Anyone know how to turn off the "update plugins" suggestion for a specific plugin? I'm partly on PPC and can't update Flash. When I develop on my PPC machine and test pages in Aurora I keep getting these reminders and have to click them every time before the flash plugin work, which is a nuisance.

FF 5 through 7 have been incredibly glitchy for me with v7 being a real bummer. Then, inexplicably, v7.0.1 turned things around for me being essentially issue free. I seem to be one of the only ones for whom 7.0.1 is a winner. At v7 I was about ready to give up on FF; I was bitching and moaning along with many others. Now, Aurora(really FF9) comes along and whaddya know, it's incredibly good;I am impressed. I'm finding it a bit faster than v7.0.1 and have yet to discover a bug therein. So far it's smooth saying all the way. I've got both v7 and 9(Aurora) in my dock and have been switching back and forth comparing the two and have to say that unless Aurora throws me a major curve, I'll likely stay with it. Of course, most of my ad-ons don't work in Aurora yet, but before long they should be compatible. At least Ghostery is working, I hate web bugs(trackers, behavioral data collectors and ad networks; In Ghostery I can block those miscreants). Yeah, Firefox is real sweet once again; everthing's copasetic at this point. I may even forgive Mozilla for its wham, bam, thank you mam approach to turning out versions, although I still can't grok Mozilla's rationale for turning out versions so frequently. What's the hurry??? So what if Google is spitting out Chrome versions like crazy?…"Oh God, Chrome's at version 15 already, gotta get humpin' ". Firefox is a much more competent and elegantly designed browser, now isn't it?

Firefox 7.0 has become such a "crasher" for me, every 5 to 10 minutes, I thought, "What the hell, could Aurora be any worse?" So far I'm not getting the regular crashes I was getting with 7.0 (b5) -- recurring crashes that happened even with all add-ons disabled. Guess I'll see soon enough if this going to be better...got so bad, I started using Chrome -- a huge memory hog, but at least it doesn't crash every 10 minutes.

For beta software this is not bad. It does have problems with Facebook Flash based games but overall it works fairly well. I still have to use it more to get a better feel for it's good and bad aspects but for now I have a very favorable view.
