* Is there anyway to go back to the previous version of Firefox? The new update is significantly more work for me to use as it is hard to use with my disabilities, extremely buggy and prone to freezing my computer every hour or two, loses a bunch of my work on every reboot meaning I have to spend 15 mins to half an hour redoing what it lost out of the 1-2 hour window of usability, and every time I open a new tab and go somewhere the home page stays stacked instead of sensibly disappearing which means I'm going to have to transfer my entire frequently used links set into an email so I can frigging get it to open cleanly. Reverting would be dramatically less use if there were a way to do it.

* Firefox forced me to reboot at 5:30AM because it slowed to a useless fucking crawl. I lost at least a half hour of work. I spent 15 minutes redoing it. It is now 6:18AM. I just rebooted and lost everything I did since I redid all the stuff it lost last time!

WHY THE FUCK DID THEY THINK THIS UPDATE WAS A GOOD IDEA!!!! WHO THE FUCK WANTS TO HAVE TO REBOOT EVERY HOUR AND DO EVERY FUCKING THING TWICE!!!!

IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS?

I will warn you, it may not be all Firefox. The most recent Windows update included some 'optimization' things which do anything but optimize - they instead eat all disk access and a bunch of memory and processor power trying to swap things in and out of memory to guess what you're trying to do.

I recommend opening Task Manager to see if it's really Firefox being a problem or if it's something else.
