Your post reminded me that I wanted to move to the ESR channel. Of course you can't just switch from release to ESR. And they make you jump through loops and hide the download. Very annoying. But I was able to update in place fine.

hclarkjr · Feb 9, 2012

After considering the top issues, the release drivers have decided to ship a Firefox 10.0.1 to fix two issues:
1) A top startup crash (bug is security locked because it's a crash)
2) Java applets cause text areas to hang (bug 718939)
The issue with the add-ons manager is unclear at the moment but looks fixable with a hotfix so it doesn't warrant a chemspill. I'm looking to see if we can blocklist the versions of AVG Safe Search that are causing the broken location bar behavior.
All other issues need too much investigation to be actionable right now or were deemed not to be major enough and can wait until Firefox 11.

Chiefcrowe · Feb 9, 2012

Thanks for letting us know!

EDIT
Here's what they fixed

if they want to start updating without consent they need to do it in the background. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to be on a conference call and need to load up the citrix connection to a client but can't because firefox is busy updating and checking for extensions for the 5th time in the last 3 months. Not acceptable.

Change the setting in the Options. Mine never updates without my consent or me actually initiating it.

I never upgraded from 3.6.x because every release from 4.etc on seems to have generated massive shitstorms from the faithful. What is the current opinion on 10?

hclarkjr · Feb 10, 2012

runs fine for me, no problems

CuriousMike · Feb 10, 2012

It runs fine for me, but i've hit a few sites that give me a "your browser might not be compatible."

I've heard that this is an issue with firefox going from 9 to 10 and websites not handling the 2nd digit well.

lxskllr · Feb 10, 2012

Been running nightlies since last year, and aside from a couple issues(due to running alpha builds), Firefox has either gotten better, or stayed the same. Currently on 13.0a1.

Chiefcrowe · Feb 11, 2012

I've had great experiences, with addons also, with FF 10 on both computers. No problems here.

have you noticed increased memory use the last 2 versions? 9&10? i think my lastpass add on is wreaking havoc with my firefox, since i started using it my memory use has skyrocketed where before that i had no problem. within 3-4 hours my memory use goes over 1,000,000 forcing me to shut browser down and start it back up. i even contacted them about it. you can guess the results from that

hclarkjr · Feb 11, 2012

just found interesting add on for firefox that restarts it automatically when it reaches certain memory use level. it prompts you to restart it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/memory-restart/

I don't think I've restarted the browser since the 5th. That was the last time it updated.

Same thing happens with Roboform.

I gave up using it long ago. At least I can use Firefox now.

i like last pass to much to give it up

Chiefcrowe · Feb 11, 2012

No. I've been checking and it seems to be using less memory overall. But i don't use last pass or roboform.

hclarkjr · Feb 11, 2012

i sent another email to them asking them to fix the memory leak.

VirtualLarry · Feb 11, 2012

Wow, I installed Waterfox 10.0, and I was greeted by a big full-screen ad, when it started up.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on there.

silvan4now · Feb 13, 2012

every new update for me solves problems but also brings new ones...the best browser but needs a lot of tweaks

AGREED. and multiply that wonderfully long delay when you count in your other pc's and especially my netbook.... ugh, its a 3min update

they actually contacted me today and asked me to send them some info from the browser when the memory use was high. hopeful they can fix it

That's why I like to run a version behind, just upgraded to 9.01. Funny I have no qualms upgrading chrome, maybe its extensions never break with each upgrade.

Chiefcrowe · Feb 16, 2012

10.0.2 was just released, not sure what was fixed yet.
