Mozilla has released Version 29.0 of the Firefox browser. The most significant change is a redesigned user interface, with more prominent customization features, and the ability to create a Firefox Account to use for Firefox Sync.

Updated some days ago, interface & new features ok, but getting lots of 'already running'. So, am hoping to see 29.1 asap...

Not a bad update, a little Chrome'ish but that's okay with me. Enjoying the change and things seem smooth and fast...for now.

About 'already running' (mentionned in post above) when launching FF29, googled it for solutions and found one recommendation which worked here: am using 'Clear history' when exiting, unticked 'Browsing and Download history', no problems since (and am anyway using ccleaner to clear the cache, so no loss). Hoping it'll help someone.

I had to reinstall whole OS couple of days ago, downloaded and installed brand new FF and since than it doesn't want to remeber History and there's no entries under "Recently Closed Tabs" and "Recently Closed windows". It is set to remember history but it doesn't. Only shows last 10 opened Tabs under that.

OK. looks like I fixed it. Started FF in safe mode, disabled all add-ons, reset FF (took 3 tries), set all options for history in safe mode and than re enabled all add-ons, now all works like it should.

When I opened FF, I keep getting a damn box opening 'checking compatibility' - it was so annoying I binned the lot.

I stopped using FF because every time I opened it I got a flash screen telling me it was checking compatibility - EVERY TIME. Surely in this day and age, it only needs to check this, if at all, when installed. Damn nuisance so don't touch. Compatibility should be checked before release.

Maybe you should look at something external giving you trouble with FF and compatibility popup. I noticed that only when updating or installing FF, never later on. What about "Telemetry" and "Health report" ? "Always check if FF is default browser" ?
I see that you have some problems with IE too, could be connected in some way.
