Is there a good reason to update to Firefox 29 or later?

What with the paralyzed customization possibilities and ugly design and many features have been removed entirely for no good reason, etc...

No, in all those who unfortunately don't do much to help protect against the vulnerabilities mentioned - they are mainly focused on privacy and blocking of known tracking providers.
probably that adblock plus may be useful in some scenarios where malicious content spans pirate advertising networks (there are also filter lists for the areas of known malware, but conceptually these will always be a few steps behind).

I wouldn't bet on any software virus protection to mitigate the attacks either. Use an unprotected browser is a bit like leaving the front door of your House large open...

  • Is there a GOOD reason that rename bookmarks can not be made intuitive?

    You know what I mean. Right click on the effing thing and type the name.

    It's already enough you converted in an alphabetical order scrambled mess when I imported of IE8 today but now try to clean and sort into folders is made a lot more painful than necessary because Firefox does not have the intuitive naming convention for allowing me to click with the right button on the bookmark to rename it to. Come on. I wouldn't have to search the database, find a thread with a long conversation about what COULD be a solution.

    I know there's a reason people choose to use Firefox, but let me guess, this isn't one of them. Just make people of work.

  • Any good reason (or necessity) of up to 2.5?

    I've been away from LR for a few months (other responsibilities) since LR 2.5 is released.  I tried a fast RAID upgrade to 2.5, but it failed, perhaps because all my pictures are on an external hard drive.

    Never had back from him so far.  Have just spent several hours through 2 months of questions forum.   He seems to have been many problems with 2.5.  Even though I know that people bring problems on the forum, rarely happy comments, I wonder if there is any good reason or the need to upgrade to 2.5 now.

    Mine is a simple little and the only problems I've had with LR from 1 to 2.4 were my own mistakes or ignorance.  I'm on XP SP3, LR 2.4, CS3; about 50 GB of images.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it?

    LR 2.5 supports a recently cameras more some bug fixes. Bugfixes are a problem with Vista 64 and a camera file management. Therefore, you are not missing probably a large part of your stay with Lr2.4

  • Are there special procedures when I update mode NX - OS (standalone) mode ACI of NX - 9 K?

    Hello world

    I have two questions.

    First of all, are there special procedures when I update mode NX - OS (standalone) mode ACI of NX - 9 K? For examples, NX - OS version, cards online, EPLDs, licenses and so on. And is it possible back ACI mode mode NX - OX, too?

    Secondly, I know that fabric module (below, FM) s are paired FM1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, respectively when there are 48-Port 1 / 10 G T/F Module in the chassis. In this case, if the FM in slot 2 to lose, both links to slots 1 and 2 would be lost because the mux detects the loss of slot 2 and therefore takes traffic slot 1 also, that is, the slots are paired. If so, what are the benefits of an investment FM full? Please share your knowledge with me clear ^ ^

    All your help will be appreciated.

    Paul

    Paul,

    Sorry for the delay... Answers to your two questions.

    1. FM can go in one of the remaining slots. The line cards have Muxes them bound to each FM which is "installed" in the switch.

    2. you original question was related to the switches in the mode of the AIT.  As of today, there is limited line cards that operate in mode of the AIT.  3 FMs provide the necessary conditions for the rate of the line more most of the previously mentioned such line cards.  That said, once you install a N9K X9736PQ a minimum of 6 FMs are needed.  So if you have a failure on one FM, your BW system in the tissue deteriorates. The BW is shared across all line cards until the failed FM is replaced.

    T.
