The should include an auto-un-update function

Anybody else had a problem with 15.0.1 and crashing with Google streetview? Also regular server not found messages even though it has only just loaded a page from that site?

I'm beginning to think that Firefox has got to the stage of development where every new feature or bug fix just introduces a new set of bugs. It used to be a good, small, fast browser, now it is heading into the realms of feature overload and slowing down

I'm using FF 16 (beta) and got an "urgent security update" a couple of days ago, had no problems with any FF 15.x versions.

Is this that beta version they keep trying to get you to download every single flippin' day? I'm glad I didn't succumb!

Firefox 16.0.1 is now out, addressing the security issue introduced in Firefox 16. No, Firefox 16 is not beta.

TBH I think Mozilla are now moving too fast for their own good with so many releases in such a short space of time (going back to v12 at least). They seem to be seriously skimping on solid testing in their rush to get the next great must-have incorporated - v15 private browsing not working, numerous probs reported with 15.0.1, security hole in 16.

Unless they get their act together then they are in danger of losing some of the market share that they have gained from MS.

Just to add that I am a committed user of FF but my love of it is slowly dying because of this
