      True. Thankfully I'm still using Version 15, but a lot of people have Firefox set to upgrade automatically.

    Looks like I'll have to downgrade quickly then. I also have mine set to upgrade automatically.

    I haven't upgraded in a good long while now, their recent upgrades render some of my addons unusable.

      I actually have a problem with that right now with v15, flash seems to eat up over 1GB of my memory now and then and makes browsing very slow, even though I've got 12GB. Restarting the browsers works most of the time though.

    There is a version 16? I'm still using 12. I guess mine is not
    set to auto-update.

    But Firefox has become very resource hungry but I'm kind
    of hooked and hate to change. But I still use Chrome sometimes
    as a backup.

    Thanks for the heads up.
