Yep! Totally agree!
And the other pest is Google..! Every time I open it up it seems they feel
they have an obligation to remind me that I'm not using the "latest"
browser and perhaps I should switch to Google Chrome!
I mean, who in hell gave these guys (Firefox and Google) the right to keep
insisting on *our* PCs that we update to their latest (often inferior)
product release? -Do they really think we are too stupid to know what we
want on our own computers???
An informative single, one time pop-up stating a new release is available *if
we wanted it *should be more than enough... There should be some kind of
law against these annoying attempts by software companies to try and force
people to use their products!
Also, if anyone on this list has any knowledge of how to change settings
and things in a PC to prevent these constantly annoying "reminders"(?) to
update things, I'd appreciate it very much..!
Thanks,
Greywoulf
