Mozilla Firefox

For those that are interested Mozilla has just released version 7 of Firefox.  Obviously there are 'improvements' but I have not as yet checked.

I am still using 3.6 !

It is telling me the latest version is 3.6.23, but I will probably upgrade to the very latest version soon. I wouldn't take much notice of of the number system on these latest versions as they seem to jump with each minor change, version 8 will probably be out soon.

I believe version 9 is already out in Beta!

I have been using FF7 and I've found it pretty good so far!

Never had any complaints with Mozilla.

It does seem to be fairly odd with it's updates though - I was on 3.6 for ages and then suddenly feel like I've gone from 5 to 6 to 7 in a matter of weeks!

Problems with memory management though!
Compare memory usage for comparative websites using firefox and say Internet Explorer.

I had the update this afternoon (on Window 7 Prof) and it did something very strange to the Tool bars. I'm not sure what but my address bar  and other shortcuts completely disappeared. It took me all of 5 mins to make it look as it did before 

Previous updates (even major ones) have been fine and leave everything 'as is'

gnu - A fair number of add ons were not compatible with ff7!
Although ff will continue to check for compatible add ons.

Yes  - thanks, Brian. It keeps telling me so after each update but I don't see anything that's missing. I don't have a lot of add ons - just the usual 

It seems to be working fine after the initial hic
