Yep, I have a Registry file here that I've had for a few years which disables Firefox updates since Mozilla removed that option from Settings at about the same time. I also have another one that re-enables updates. I don't know what happens if you don't disable updates and ignore the little...

Hi Josey. Sorry - my last sentence wasn't directed at you. It was just a general comment about what has happened to web browsers in recent years (especially Chrome and Edge).

They did that a few years ago - went to a two week schedule but they 'abandoned' it. Good to see they're bringing it back again because I was thinking I may have had to start looking for another browser that behaves more like the 'old' Firefox used to because Mozilla seems to heading down the...

I still have all of this RAM in storage. Not in my safe yet but in a locked room (storage shed) at the back of the house. :-)

I gave up with Edge earlier this year (turned everything off related to it, deleted shortcuts and blocked Internet access) because it repeatedly changed my Home Page to a New Tab Page complete with all the ad ridden junk and news stories splashed all over it and my bookmarks spread across the...

After seeing the complaints, disorientation and sheer panic shown by people here in Australia if one of our major telcos has even a one hour outage I'm pretty sure that would be the end of civilization as we know it. :LOL:

OK, I have decided that enough is enough. It is annoying to have to check the Settings (in 2 Windows accounts - Administrator and the Standard one I use all the time) to find out what's been added/changed and turn it off if necessary every time there is a new final release. Like I had to do with...

Meh. I just keep all of my passwords and other important things in encrypted text files in My Documents which can only be read by the Windows 11 Professional Standard user account that I enabled it with (it isn't available in W11 Home, by the way). I just double click on the file and it opens...

I seem to recall someone from Mozilla saying a few years back (may be a bit more than a few years) that they were only going to have a Final Release of Firefox every 2 weeks to 'simplify' things fo their users. I wonder what happened to that? And, yes - I get the impression they're trying to...

Is that a Preview Update? I don't install Preview Updates so I might see it after the upcoming June "Patch Tuesday"?

lol... I still haven't seen this "new" Start Menu on any of the 3 desktop PC's I have here. I suppose I should be thankful for small mercies.

I still haven't seen the "new" Start Menu on any of the 3 desktop PC's I have here (one is "unsupported"). I know I can make it appear if I want to (I have the Registry file here to do it) but I've been waiting to see how long it would take if I just left it alone. I do find it quite bizarre...

Meanwhile, here in Australia (after the 150 update). I'll pass, thanks.

I still don't know why these YouTube videos about all the problems with Windows 11 nearly always show Bill Gates? "Bill Gates Furious About The Big Drop In Windows 11 Users" was one I saw recently. And there's many, many more similar YouTube titles. As far as I know, Bill Gates has had nothing...

When Windows 11 was first released there was a simple Registry edit which restored the Windows 10 Start Menu (one of many things which shows Windows 11 is actually just Windows 10 with a bit of a... umm... 'facelift'). I don't know if it was this particular edit or another one. Of course, as...
