I've got the 64 bit 3.6 installed, but as you said no flash, so mainly use 3.5 32 bit.

I tried the beta, but some of my add ons did not work, I also found it was slower to start. I will stay with version 3 until I go back to Xp and then go back to Version 2, which I think was the best Firefox.

Are you aware Firefox version 2 is no longer supported by Mozilla? It has known security vulnerabilities in it, and Mozilla are not going to fix them:

I know, but it is a better browser, it don't crash for a start, this version 3 will crash for no reason, mostly if I look at a inbeded video.


Anyway, I have had no problem before, the only reason I don't use FF2 now is because it will not run on windows 7 for some reason.

Just found out that some of those add-ons actually do have updated versions, but these aren't getting downloaded by a "Check for updates to add-ons" -- they need to be downloaded directly from their websites. So now Rikai-chan works fine... but unfortunately still no updated version of Tab Mix Plus frown

I had one version that crashed consistently.. Even rolling back to previous versions didn't solve it.. Until I discovered that the profile had somehow become corrupt.. Uninstalled FF, removed profile info, reinstalled FF and all was well.. laugh

Well, I bit the bullet and installed it, all add ons seem to work apart from Roboform, I will have to see if a update will work, I need Roboform.

Too early to tell anyone what it is like.

It is normally when I use embeded video for some reason, like on the BBC news web site, now and again You Tube.

Could be a flash problem more than a Fire fox problem I suppose.
