updated to 16.0.2, now when I try to go to facebook the icon spins for ages, then I am unable to click on anything it is like there is nothing on the page. it is so bad I can not even click on the icon in the toolbar to minimise it have to close it down - totally not responding to anything and it is the same on my laptop. how do I remove 16.0.2 and go back to earlier version as this is obviously buggy
