I had to restore to install last update, May 25, 2025, and turn off auto update, because it is not compatible with GVoice. Or other G anything.
Specifically, it took 20 min. each time with all the stupid verification, for which I needed more verification, and when I did finally access G Voice, I could nor press the lock before the URL, nor any other way to enable Permissions, for sound and mic, which was now all, by default, shut off. I had to use GVoice to reach my SIM provider to find out why I showed plenty of Gigs left on my plan, yet no service for 48 hrs.
The whole verification hassle opens us up to more hacking, not less, as we get desperate, waiting to get the codes in the best of times. Also, phones often do not work, or are too slow to get the code in time. And I always have to do all this in a library parking lot, risking spying, because phone signal/internet rarely reaches us in rural areas, or is corrupted, with greedy AI taking up all the bandwidth. And cable is $50K investment, and does not work when the power is off, which due to Pacific storms, is about a total of 3 months a year. I dread having to go online for anything, and will not update Firefox until I hear some encouraging news.
Thank you all, this is still the best, lightweight browser. And at least I have people here to give me advice!
