Is Firefox past its sell-by?

[Benchwayze]

I just installed the latest Firefox, because my version was playing ip.
I tried to install the spull-chicker, (which for some strange reason, isn't already installed) four times, and still it won't work.

It's annoying. I can spill quite wull, but my typing isn't all that special, so I rely un the spull-chick te find embarrasing typous. (IE is absolute ruggish too!)

So, is there a better brooser?

it could just be a bug if you tried re-starting ff after the install?
did you try enabling it from the right click menu or selecting the language?

I've been using chrome for a long time now.

I use Chrome with AdBlock and Privacy Badger installed. Saves a whole load of crepe.

It's a problem with your system - nothing wrong with FF.
Chrome is blocking Flash Ads soon if that matters to you.

I don't get it.
I thought Flash was necessary to enable any browser to play videos.
I just wish these money-grabbing nincompoops would stop competing with one another to see who can make the most money, and/or control the most of the net.
Look at whht Google has done to YouTube. Ruined it.

Also, until I renewed Firefox this morning, spell-check was working fine!
Sheesh!

My Firefox has just upgraded itself - it uses Yahoo now has its default search engine but you can get round that.
Has a new gizmo that shows whose looking into your system on a world map.

As a aside:
To get around the constant pop-ups from MS, I downloaded Win10 to install later but 3days later it installed itself! Others have experienced that too.
I had problems authenticating it and not recognising my DVD drive but sorted now and all my Win7 software is working.

I've scanned my system with anti-virus, anti-malware, and cleared it out with CC cleaner. I still can't get the spell-check to work
