Having switched to Zen Browser, something I miss with Firefox was its stability. I find myself looking up Zen browser bugs and workarounds too much. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I’m downgrading Zen versions due to a bug in the stable version, I never had to do so during my years on Firefox. Devs on Github making an app on their free time have can’t spend as long on QA as a multi-mullion dollar organization.
I’ve never needed to downgrade Firefox.
The only time I did was WAY back during the launch of Firefox Quantum. It was a huge back-end change pushed overnight to the main branch, breaking most extensions including one I similar couldn’t live without at the time. I even switched to PaleMoon for a while until everything sorted itself out.
Been using LibreWolf for almost 2 years now which does a good job at gutting all the parts of Firefox updates I don’t want.
How often do you downgrade Firefox versions
I don’t remember ever downgrading a browser (started out on NCSA Mosaic).
Having switched to Zen Browser
Recently tried Zen – I think it’s pretty and shows promise but has a few dealbreakers that preclude my using it as a daily driver. TL;DR: “I slightly prefer the zen UI but not enough to overcome the annoyances. I’ll check back on the project next year if it’s still active.”
I’ve been using web browsers since NCSA Mosaic, and I don’t recall ever having needed to downgrade.
Never had to downgrade FF. However, I HAVE had to install an older FF theme on a newer FF because information density reigns king on my screen.
I use lepton - Photon style: https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/tree/photon-style
Never.
Never had to downgrade. Never had any problem
Are you banking with an unstable fork that’s only existed for 11 months? That seems like a worse decision than just running Firefox…
Zen is in beta. You should expect instability.
Never
Never, but I recently switched to Zen so idk if I’ll find myself doing that in a few weeks/months too.
