Mine's hadn't kicked in on start-up, so I just did it through the options...

I'm really starting to think that the big FF update was rushed out too soon... Just clicking back is enough to 'hide' the browser sometimes - I hit my FF link to start again and it loaded all the tabs I had open without a peep, but failed in attempting to finish my download (told me it was finished, just wound up with a corrupt file). Sometimes I get pages that time out or just show a white screen. Thought it was my connection, but other pages work fine, and the problem pages eventually let you refresh :roll:

And all that's when I don't get this enormous gray box telling me FF has fallen over. Reading around, it seems I'm not the only one... Obviously the add-ons are a candidate, but even switching them off doesn't seem to help :x :?

Hm, can't say I've had any trouble at all with it. Perhaps a re-install is required?

more problems heathen clicky

i think this update was rather rushed out, almost as though they just dumped in the new javascript engine without making sure nothing else was broken in doing so :?

im not worried by these flaws: my PC has about 4 real-time malware scanners running at any one time, and the fact it can load my friends facebook photo with over 2,000 comments in under 5 seconds outweighs the issues IMO :D

Does anyone else find that it takes a while to start up?


The initial start-up time on my work PC for Firefox is far slower than Chrome and IE8. Yet I use Firefox all the time... :geek:
