I had used firefox from nearly the first release with no probs. Since Firefox 6 I have had loads of problems. I have uninstalled it.

Which operating system do you use? Is it XP or an earlier system?

i`ve been on version 6 for a few weeks now, I`m on the Beta update so receive most updates in advance of general release.

To date I haven`t had any problems and ALL my add-ons have & still function.

O/S Win7 64bit.

I'm still using Firefox 3.6 and got an update pop-up as well, although that is to 3.6.2 or something.

You should really have updated as there have been several security fixes.

Firefox 6 has disabled a number of add-ons for me; including McAfee Site Adviser and the Ancestry Viewer  :o

Ancestry works just fine for me!

Can these differences with the same or similar operating systems be due to one person not taking all relevant updates?
