Who killed Pages this time? ... [you] did!

Also, I never noticed this in Chrome, but the auto-updater on the main page of the forum... Does it look really narrow on Firefox? o__o

I use Chrome as my primary browser at home, so...

 

[suikun245]

I only use Firefox on the school computers because Chrome is not consistently installed on all the computers.

 

[suikun245]

Except I just discovered this year that Firefox isn't either.

 

[suikun245]

Most computers have both, but it's easier to open Firefox into straight private window than Chrome (by setting it as perma-private).

 

[suikun245]

But there are just random computers that don't have Chrome?

 

[suikun245]

And random computers that don't have Firefox?

 

[suikun245]

Actually, it's mainly the actual university computers that don't have Chrome.

Or well they do, but it's remotely booted which makes it atrocious to use.

 

[suikun245]

I'm now mostly on engineering computers... and most of them have both installed (outdated by more than a year at this point though). Heck, even the ESR Firefox they had installed was outdated.

 

[suikun245]

But like, there are a cluster of computers in ME that only has Chrome?

 

[suikun245]

And the ME computers that are on the independent ME system (as opposed to the overall engineering system) only ever has Chrome, anyway. Or I just never bothered looking for Firefox. Those are somehow automatically set to open incognito windows somehow. I need to figure that out.

 

[suikun245]

But things occasionally break on up-to-date websites because of how outdated both Chrome and Firefox are on the engineering computers.

 

[suikun245]

But modern stable browsers no longer offer the ZIP option.

 

[suikun245]

Firefox only offers it on the Nightly and Aurora update channels.

 

[suikun245]

Sure I'm running Firefox Developer off of my network drive, and I have to frequently redownload it to update it, but it's sure as hell more up-to-date than what's installed.

 

[suikun245]

And because I'm also storing my profile on the same network drive, I don't have to constantly go private. 8D

(though the installed firefox also stores the profile somewhere to my account, but I just don't know where)

 

[suikun245]

Firefox ESR 38.0.1 is what's installed on this computer. MAY 2015. Not as bad,

The actual version varies from computer to computer (haha so glad that profiles are compatible across most versions). Some of them are older, depending on if you hit a bad one.

Though the current ESR is 38.3.0.

 

[suikun245]

Chrome is similar. It's a hit or miss of how updated it is, but the most recent version is probs also from May.

Updates are also disabled.

 

[suikun245]

For Chrome on this comp:
Version 45.0.2454.101 m

 

[suikun245]

WOAH WOAH WOAH WAIT CHROME IS UP TO DATE ON THIS COMPUTER?

 

[suikun245]

Then why not update Firefox while you were at it, dammit.
