Firefox has worked fine with my computer and Android devices for the past couple of years, until...
I got a great deal on my computer last September and had everything working, but didn't use Firefox that much as I prefer using Chrome. Certain websites don't work on Chrome like Healthcare.gov. One particular website didn't work on Chrome, but requires Adobe Flash to be installed which I have not done on the new computer because it was already in Chrome and Internet Explorer.
1- Adobe Flash should be included.
So I thought I was downloading Adobe Flash from Adobe when I noticed that it was trying to install a toolbar. Before I know it, not only was a Conduit toolbar installed, but my homepage was changed on all 3 browsers. My default search engine was also changed on all 3 browsers also. I can't stand when something tries to change my homepage.
2- Do not allow junk toolbars to be installed automatically. A verification message should be shown with the risks.
I was so frustrated with Firefox and how slow it was running that after I uninstalled that toolbar, I decided to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it. Then the sync madness began. Both my computer and my Android devices offer a code to sync them to each other, then it asked you to setup a new Firefox account or login with your existing account. When I tried to login with my existing login I am requested to enter a verification code from my other device. The Android devices do not give an option to get the verification code.
3- Make the sync process easier by email address and password.
I like the ability to have addons with my mobile device to view pdf files inside the browser. Unfortunately that is about it. I can accomplish this task with Dolphin browser if I don't mind it running in the background.
