Can two search engines coexist?
 

Some numbnut "fixed" this laptop recently by putting Windows 10 on it. I have Firefox and I can't play YouTube along with a host of other video hosting sites and as an added bonus can't open most links to articles in articles from other websites forum.

Most of the solutions I've found are regarding those using Google Chrome and I can do them, they do not apply to Firefox. If I install Google Chrome will it destroy Firefox and all bookmarks or will FF have a parallel existence?

You can do both. As a matter of fact, Chrome can import all of your bookmarks from Firefox (without taking them from Firefox). The only issue I have with Chrome is that they steal all of your info. Food instance, if you look at something on let's say Amazon, for the next few days you will see ads pertaining to what you searched.

There is a way to fix Firefox. All you have to do is install the Flash player. Then you'll be able to watch videos again. Flash is becoming susceptible to viruses, so that's why Firefox is shying away from it. YouTube and all of those use Flash.

I've been trying to install Flash and trying and trying.

The new versions of firefox suck. Pale Moon is much better, as it is built on older versions of Mozilla and therefore, more controllable.

I have three running on this computer.

I have windows 10 and use firefox and can watch youtubes and have adobe flash player

I don't know if I have Win 10 but I operate with Win 7.
Also Firefox is my favorite operating system.

Piss on 10, 8 7. Linux is the way to go.

I am quickly learning that.

I only kept 7 on my laptop so I could update my Garmin. If you can show me a way to update my Garmin on Linux, I'd be a happy camper.

There is nothing wrong with 10, I have it on both computers here at the home office, I have no problems with it.

My system is too old for 10. Otherwise it is a working system.

My trouble started with Firefox updating itself, restored to older version. Got it working with Windows 7, told idjit everything was fine. They put Windows 10 on in my absence, claim a system restore won't work because 7 is obliterated, I got updated Firefox working then it stopped.

Pale Moon may be the easiest way to go or I'll have to do what Preacher did in his thread, don't know if I can.

I supposedly disabled Microsoft Edge on this one, that's the counter accusation. :skullcap:

Pale Moon download failed.

The YouTube video I shared walks you through all the steps. If you do the Flash drive, you can try it without installing it. If you like it, then you can do the permanent install from the drive.

Try Vivaldi (browser). It's the newest one created by the programmer who originally built Opera. I like it.
