TheAslanMozilla Firefox 26 Stable released.
GautamThanks man for keeping me up-to-date.
LadyTJThere are a few frustrating things with the Firefox 26.0 update:
Bookmarks sort order no longer works on individual folders;
Opening a new tab and waiting for it to load takes a very long time, even if you don't have many tabs open, and it freezes the current page you are on;
and I had to disable Hardware Acceleration because web page text was unreadable.
Do you have any advice or fixes, VG?
VG^^ You can try a fresh install of Firefox. Uninstall Firefox and delete its folders from AppData and "Program Files". Then reinstall Firefox and now it should work fine.
LadyTJThanks VG, I will try this.
anonymousi install the latest version coz i thought it will load faster but im wrong. VG, do you have any advice? My firefox doesnt load faster.
VG^^ As I suggested in above comment, you should also try a clean install of Firefox.
