I read this and several other Forums about people wanting to leave the beta channel because they were getting updates which were not always compatible with previous versions and their add-ons etc.
Initially I went to Tools > Options>Advanced>Update and unchecked the Firefox box.
Then I found my Laptop was not on the beta channel and the download was for Firefox for Yahoo UK & Ireland (yahoogb). I then went to my PC, located Firefox for UK & Ireland and found a download which was Firefox optimised for Yahoo. I downloaded Version 8 which was on offer then did an update check which downloaded a Version 9 - which was on the release channel. Beta been sucessfully demolished!!
So - if you are in Great Britain there at least is a way to get out of the beta channel.
Happy New Year one and all.
kpcalling, the easiest way to get back on the release channel is to install the current stable release which in this case is 9.0.1. Say from www.mozilla.com
Mozilla has moved most sites to the mozilla.org domain, so you will be redirected to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
You can find the latest Firefox release here:
- Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
I know, just easier to type out www.mozilla.com versus http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
