photobucket is...well, making me angry
« on: December 31, 2012 - 04:44:00 AM »
 :villagers:  photobucket is ticking me off.  It keeps loading a beta version that locks up firefox 3.6.28  and I don't want to update firefox either.   >:(  Updating is not always better.  ɤ

Well 3.6.28 is pretty old. I'm running Firefox 17.0.1. While I agree that updating can have it's problems - specifically, Windows updates - the only issue I've had with updating Firefox, is sometimes a plug-in you like isn't supported for a week or two until the plug-in catches up with the update.
Staying with a version as old as 3.6, you can run into compatibilty issues with other programs that are newer.  :2cents:

I know you are 100% right.  It's just me not wanting to change a familiar look with a program.  I will update firefox during the week.  I had considered using opera but I will stick with firefox.  Thanks for the reality check....I needed it.
