Damn Firefox 6

I have been using Mozilla Firefox as my favorite web browser for a very long time. Yesterday I was alerted that there was a new version, the Mozilla Firefox 6, so I installed it.

The new version doesn't work for me at all. It just keeps on loading, loading, loading, loading...and yes, still loading... I cannot move out of the spot.


The worst thing is it is not possible to download the version I was using previously (version 5.something.something) but I have to downgrade all the way down to 3.6.

And with all the installs and uninstalls trying to make version 6 work, I lost all my bookmarks. Damn!

    The Mozilla Firefox page tells me that 6.0 is the latest version, Sjöfn, at least for Windows, but I will look for the 7.0 version.

    Vampi, I dont know, it seemed to download and install properly. And i have removed and reinstalled about 8 times, still get the same shit.

    ...and now the version I got that worked has turned itself into "safe mode" and I cannot get out of it arrghhh

    I think I will just go to bed and then spend my 16 days off from work trying to get my web-browser to work. ;/

    Haha lets see, now I could update from the 3.6 to the 5.1 - which hopefully will work

    And I also found the Firefox 7.0 beta version and downloaded it..

    Well, now my faith is restored in Firefox again, the 7.0 Beta is running smoothly as did the 5.1 - hopefully it will continue that way ;)

    Firefox is VERY slow. Try Google Chrome, it is simple and fast!

    My Firefox-problems continue so I have migrated to Google Chrome. It takes some getting used to, but as you say Eddi, it is fast!
