Individuals customize the operating system and its options to suit their preferences. Then they find that the updates do not take these changes into consideration. The end result is that the updates often create functionality and productivity problems.
The same could have occurred with the Firefox web browser as well. Considering the fact that the Firefox web browser enables surfers to make necessary changes to the functioning of their browser through Firefox extensions, the chances of this problem arising very often was high.
