People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

Days like this, I understand people who snap and walk into some office, unloading a couple of clips. We all have our breaking point.

For the Guh-fuckin'-zillionth time, Firefox has screwed up my home page, deleting all my carefully loaded & arranged tabs--a feature which makes my life SO much easier. They updated it today, and on opening the first tab, I had a message asking if I wanted to "restore my tabs or keep the new ones." Since my tabs were there for a while, it seemed logical that I would want those, not something they'd just added when updating, which logically would be categorized as "new". WRONG!!!

Nice trick, Firefox. Of course, the tabs I've been using were apparently the "new" tabs, so those were all replaced. Now I can't find the add-on I used before to arrange the home page to my liking, and nothing that shows up in search looks remotely like it.

I don't like Chrome either. Don't think anybody--unless they still have a MySpace page and AOL email-still uses Explorer.
So, open to other functional options you may have experience with. Anybody have a browser they can recommend that will let me set my home page tabs and forget about it?

Edit: So, God-All-Fucking-Mighty--insert every other profanity/vulgarity/obscenity/blasphemy you've ever heard here--I found an extension add-on that must be the same one I used before, since after enabling it my home page was restored exactly. This time, I also went on to commands for Firefox and disabled auto updates (fuck hackers--that's why I pay for Norton), also bookmarked the page with the extension, AND created a Word file with a screen shot & the web address for the page. Sure Firefox will still find a way to eventually fuck it up anyway. Probably make it incompatible...but only if I let them update.

Clearly, I don't handle shit like this well. Mugger tries to abduct me and my 4-year-old at knife point? I find a way to deal. But THIS kind of petty shit that gnaws away at half my day? Makes me want to take a knife to somebody. So damned unnecessary. Hate it hate it hate it.

That's strange. I have Firefox installed on all my machines (along with Chrome and Edge on my Win 10 machines), used it for years, and never experienced a problem like that. I use Chrome and Edge more often than Firefox, but some things just run better in FF. My only issue is that sometimes it's God Awful slow loading. I'd be curious to see what happened to you.

Maybe it's something in my pc settings that contributes. What pushes me over the edge is it's happened a BUNCH of times. Frequently after FF updates. I'll have my lovely home page rows of all my bank, credit card, websites ( BP ), weather radar, yada etc. icons all arranged and right there where I want them and BOOM! they're wiped away. At least this time, as long as the add-on doesn't cease to exist, I should be able to repair it next time it happens. It's the freakin' repetition of the same screw up that really gets maddening (literally).

Ahhh. now I see what you have going on. You basically have your bookmarks showing on your home page(similar to the mobile version of FF) I just have Google set as my home page. Still not sure why its wiping out your settings on an update though.

I’m seriously tired of driving anymore. The assholes that permeate the driving spectrum, seem to be increasing exponentially. I was beeped at twice and flipped off one of those times in a 10 minute time span. The first was by some old fart who was pulling up behind me at Home Depot to get mulch loaded. He apparently didn’t like that I stopped and was parked ahead of him to load my own. The second was by some lady (she flipped me off too) turning left across 3 lanes of traffic who was across the double yellow line into my lane. I had to go into another lane to go around her so I could turn left at the light about a 100 ft up. She wasn’t legally in a turn area or getting across without all traffic stopping for her. But I’m the asshole for not stopping to wait for her.:roll2: And this all on a Monday late morning sheeesh....

So, there was this cute video on Facebook from a local wildlife rescue & rehabilitation organization. OK, I thought, I'll bite (pun unintended)--let's buy some grapes for the rescue raccoons. Located the website, got the credit card form all filled out, hit "confirm" and up pops a message telling me my donation is inadequate--I'll need to increase the amount before they can accept my money.

Don't really need to tell you how much my donation ended up being, do I?

The group of people in our marketing group that signed off on a trio of video billboard trucks in a row rolling up and down US192 advertising Toy Story Land. Fucking things go 10 or more under the speed limit creating a rolling speed block because everyone slows down to look at them as they pass them, making it slower and harder for those of us stuck in the slower moving line of traffic behind them to get around and pass them. Also, they're distracting to both drivers and pedestrians. Meanwhile the constant refrain is "Safe-D begins with me!"

Also, video billboard trucks shouldn't be a thing, period. Things should be illegal on any road while in motion.
