It is *completely* unacceptable to release an update that appears to
ignore the configuration files, and doesn't even *show* the menu, which
would absolutely freak out an "ordinary user".

And to lose the tabs! I am *not* going to update firefox at work till
they fix this - I have stuff I need.

Switch to Palemoon or Qupzilla, firefox has "improved" itself to the
point where it's just not a choice anymore, let alone a good one.  I've
been using Palemoon and it's been a damn good choice for me... ymmv

palemoon looks nice - *is* there a package for it somewhere, or do you
have to d/l and install from their homepage?

Find something else that works for you, there are other choices.  It's
gotten to the point where firefox is as bad as chrome or ie.  A shame,
it used to be such a good choice.

I have to worry, here at work. I am *not* going to even think about trying
to force my users to use another browser, one they've never heard of (I've
never heard of either of these). This needs to be fixed....

yup, that would be the fly in the ointment. It's certainly not in the distro's I use (base,extras,updates,rpmforge,epel). I did find qupzilla in linux mint, but not palemoon and neither in the centos distro's that I use. Can't speak to other systems.

For a mass install you pretty much have to roll your own. I've only used it on individual systems that I work with directly and downloaded from the website. I can only speak to my personal use. Hopefully it will start showing up in the distro's, we definitely need something other than firefox these days.
