Now for every photo there is this comment below the photo that says "this photo may be subject to copyright". I can still click on the photo, but it is not as large as it used to be. This is all because of that privacy nonsense that is making havoc of everything in America!

A couple of months ago I made the mistake of updating my Firefox when cued (as I would routinely do) and found that they had changed to a new version. I absolutely hated everything about it -- its appearance, its layout, and the fact that none of my add-ons and plug-ins were no longer compatible and no longer worked with the new version! Despite their claiming to have compatible versions when I tried re-installing them they either did not work properly/the same, or they would not install or work at all.

I ended up doing a "Restore your computer to an earlier time" (3 days back) and got back my old version of Firefox. After the process I believe that I did need to re-enable some of my add-ons and plug-ins, but at least they are all working properly again.
Firefox claims to gave added more/new safety measures into their new(er) version(s), but I have decided to take my chances and put my faith into my Kaspersky keeping me safe as it had done for many years thus far.
Firefox is presently up to version 58.0.2 but I am still using version 56.0.2. I do keep getting hounded with drop-downs from Firefox to update, but I simply keep clicking the "Not Now" box and close the drop-down -- which I feel is a small price to pay from having to use that junkier version of Firefox!
