Mozilla rolled out Firefox 82 last week however the company presently has to reduce the automatic rollout due to bugs reported by users.

More specifically, TechDows has noticed two different widespread issues plaguing Firefox and which Mozilla has already acknowledged.

The very first of these concerns the printing issue, as some users discovered that printing receipts is not being employed as expected, and just what they get is simply a blank piece of paper. Mozilla has started a study with this issue, and the company is now testing a fix in the newest Firefox 83 beta build.

Antivirus issues

But what's worse is the fact that Firefox no longer seems to be playing nice with assorted antivirus products installed on Windows devices.

The browser crashes on launch on devices where software developed by Symantec and Trend Micro is installed, and someone claims that the event happens even when Windows Defender, the default Windows 10 antivirus protection, is enabled.

"I've been in 81.0.1 build, I updated to Firefox 82 today and Firefox won't start anymore, I did an install refresh, did a reinstall, doesn't appears to work, I had an older version of Firefox developer edition installed which was working, today I updated it to 83 and it also won't start, I attempted Firefox ESR 78.4.0esr that is working fine. suspect it has to make a move with 82 changes. I'm inside a windows machine with 1909 build 64 bit and have Symantec endpoint installed, it's a work lap and I tried reproducing exactly the same issue in colleagues laptop with similar spec and he is also facing exactly the same issue. happens to be an AV issue or driver issue," one user explains in a Bugzilla post.

A new Firefox update to solve these complaints has become expected in a few days.
