Rolling out an entirely new product to a large group of users is a complex process that can easily result in issues when executed too quickly. We started to roll out the new Firefox for Android at the end of July 2020, making it available to users in Germany, France and the UK on August 25. "Since the update on Android yesterday, it has become unusable – it crashes every few minutes – when trying to search Google or DuckDuckGo, or (ironically) when I click the Crashes link in the help pages." "I have used Firefox since before it was called Firefox," added Ace Medlock. "My main gripe is that there is no back button (to return to your previous page) anymore." "This is the worst 'upgrade' I've ever experienced," said netizen Martin Lindenmayer. This is the worst 'upgrade' I've ever experienced Meanwhile, the Google Play store page for the completely free and open-source Firefox has a rash of one-star reviews echoing similar complaints: after the upgrade, little seemed to work as expected. The user interface, tabs, navigation, add-ons."
"To sum it up, on 20th of August, Firefox 79 was unexpectedly forced on a large batch of Firefox 68 Android users without any warning, way to opt out or roll back," our reader reported. In fact, this was a deliberate software release.Ī Reg reader yesterday alerted us to an August 20 version bump that was causing so many problems, our tipster thought it was a beta that had gone seriously awry. An update to the Android flavor of Firefox left fuming punters thinking a bad experimental build had been pushed to their smartphones.
