“Firefox is About to Become an Almost Complete Copy of Chrome”

When this happens I’ll use Pale Moon as my default browser because I definitely don’t want anything close to Chrome on my computer.

@lakrsrool,

I use Firefox ESR.

That’s very interesting midnight, I wasn’t aware of this version, thanks for that input. As stated on the : Extended Support Release web page:

Who is it not for?
Individual users who always want the latest features, performance enhancements and technologies in their browser without waiting for them to become available in ESR several development cycles later.

Do you notice delays as far as what is released as compared to some of the topics discussed in the forum regarding releases having to do with the regular personal FF releases?

So then the Avast Online Security plugin we discussed on the previous page is available for the ESR version of FF?

Presumably this is the browser used where you work which is why you’re using this version.

Well it virtually has happened as of FFv42, but then you can’t do anything about that as FF ESR is presumably at our work place. :-\

Yes, but this is OT here.

To stay on topic…

I just tried again to sign in with Pale Moon browser and this time it works…

If this was fixed by Avast then thank you.

system · 2015-12-10T16:39:10.000Z

Thanks avast.
Im finally able to log in with pale moon my favourite web browser.

Even though i dont agree with this form of discrimination its nice to see that avast finally provided a solution.

Im puzzled as to why avast did not do this from the start.
Of course with google being a large corporation they no doubt shook a few dollars about to gain numero uno status with the avast team.

Ethics anyone…? 8)

For the past week when I tried to open http://forum.avast.com I got :

Simply hitting reload and the page showed up fine. Today the page loads without a problem, but after clicking "login" there is only the spinning waiting symbol and it doesn't go to the login page.

This is really sloppy work by avast and discriminatory in its very nature.
No avast ,not everyone wants to use google chrome thank you and attempting to shove it down avast users throats will not work either.
Maybe if enough opera users bark from the highest rooftops then avast may turn a deaf ear into a listening ear and actually sort thr god forsaken mess up.

Look at the amazing turnaround in regard to pale moon users.For weeks pale moon users could not log in and were then subsequently fed a mixture of avast contrived trollop as to why this was and then finally…VOILA.!! it was fixed.
Pure laziness and a security company should know better than to try and dictate what browser people should use. 8) 8)

Try to make a positive post for a change, or show everyone how it should be done in your opinion.
It seems you know it all and can do a much better job.

Not a very helpful and conclusive reply. ???

Indeed, you are not very helpful at all.
You don’t come even close to something that is helpful >:(

Only a scotsman would use the word “wee”
Its certainly not off topic by any means.
Still no satisfactory explanation as to why the log in issues were present.

Bad xcripting.

midnight · 2015-12-16T01:02:20.000Z

You can log in now so that should make you a “wee” bit happy.

Eddy · 2015-12-16T02:01:55.000Z

Arnold,

I only mentioned some problems I am/was experiencing.
Your reaction :

This is really sloppy work by avast and discriminatory in its very nature.

If you really believe that, why didn’t you provide the prove of it? Why didn’t you supply a (possible) solution ?
You act as the mister know it all.

Oh wait, I already know why you didn’t…
You have no clue about things at all.

Guess what…
The “40 error” was caused by a wrong setting on one of the servers that my ISP is using.
And I can assure you that avast is not my ISP.

system · 2015-12-16T21:51:36.000Z

I am certainly no know it all.
Your arrogant and sarcastic replies seems to indicate your a step above us all.

What are your credentials.?

Anyhow back on topic…
The avast team really need to be making more browsers accessible to their forums instead of this incessant push and shove to get people to use chrome.
Not everyone wants what chrome has to offer and a more diverse approach is needed,
