Now I can't open Firefox/Waterfox when I click a link in Thunderbird.

Fixed it, tried lots of work arounds but no joy. Installed Waterfox still the same problem (Waterfox still showed as Firefox) so I tried to install Firefox beta.
It kept telling me that I had to close Firefox when I thought I had so I went to task manager and found there a Firefox.exe still running.
Cancelled that and tested the link process.

This time it opened a Waterfox dialogue box to warn about certain add-onns compatibility, now my default browser shows as Waterfox and it opens links.

Sorry about the long and rambling post but I hate it when people just say "fixed"!.
 
The whole point of auto update is to remove the need for constant update reminders :) Heck, by the time most of the ff users read this thread they'd already have received the update :P
 
Is there a fix for the jerky scrolling, as its been like this ever since version 13? Im really thinking about using a different browser because of this?

Edit: Just tried waterfox and scrolling is the same ARRGGHH

Until chrome solves/improves the below, firefox forever! :p :D

- Firefox is faster for me (especially when loading image/GIF/Flash intensive pages, chrome really sucks in that area), pages are loaded first and then rendered instantly where as with chrome it loads the pages whilst rendering at the same time so it doesn't have that same instant feel as firefox, just appears that it loads faster. However, overall chrome is faster and smoother throughout the UI.

- having the gmail tab pinned and if you receive an email it doesn't change colour, you need to install an addon and have an icon in the nav bar, so more clutter

- pages aren't remembered where you left off after you close chrome, just reloads them and brings you back to the top of the page again, so means you have to scroll all the way through again looking for the last post you read

- userstyles look no where as good on chrome

- no where as smooth when scrolling as firefox even with smooth scroll installed especially for image/flash/GIF intensive pages

- font looks much better, more smooth for firefox
