    A fix for that problem is available. Version 3.5.1 fixes that known bug. Download it from the Mozilla site (or when CNET gets it).

    Cham .....Sorry about the troll remark. A group of friends acting as one better explains what I was seeing. It just seemed far too coincidental that all the reviews were posted at the same time and so similar in style. Plus there was the name thing I mentioned before. While your style is certainly different than mine I think we can agree that getting Mozilla to take notice and make the needed repairs on Firefox is the same. I haven't written a review on v. 3.5 yet because I wanted to look closely at the browser for a month or two first before making comment. If you recall it took Mozilla numerous versions before they worked the wrinkles out of Firefox 3.0. Sadly we may be traveling down a similar road. We have a premature release so Firefox can appear to be keeping up with the competition.
    No, I am at present only running Firefox on a Windows XP Pro operating system, but on occasion I install and play around with various linux distros. When I do Firefox is my browser there also.

    No, I have not posted multiple times. I simply got together a group of people who were all having serious problems with FF 3.5 and i gave them a link to sign up and rate it here in the hopes that Mozilla would take notice and fix this version. Are you using FF in a Linux environment? The problems are specific to Windows and as you can see from the link many people are having problems not just me. Even the Admin on Mozilla's forum admits that there are known problems that they are working on. I wish they would speed up the process so that I could reinstall 3.5 and actually use it.

    Cham ...... Regardless of what the link says you missed my point that you are suspected of posting multiple times. Correct? Does Firefox have some problems? Without question it does. Do these problems affect every Firefox 3.5 user. Definitely not. I have been running 3.5 since it came out without incidence. At the present time I have 76 extensions, over 150 search engines, and in excess of 25,000 bookmarks. If anyone is a candidate for a compatibility conflicts it is me. My problems with Firefox 3.5 have been extremely minor. In truth I can't verify the problems others are seeing.
    In my opinion Mozilla was hell-bent on making their deadline of releasing Firefox 3.5 in the second quarter at all cost. The very last day of quarter two it was released. I have for some time thought Firefox would likely be released with known errors, and it seems I am correct. How serious are these problems? How many of them are there? When are they to be corrected? Who knows? One star? No!

    so wyzwyk, did you even go to the link i posted or are you just going to accuse me of being a troll? the link is to mozilla's own forums. ver 3.5 has serious issues.

    cham33...... or is it cham4? (p16 in this CNET Firefox forum) Who are you? I suspect from the similarity of the negative 1 or 2 line blurbs on this page that you are all the same person. What we may have here is a bad case of the TROLL. The gig is up, and now that you've been found out it's time for you to go back under the bridge from whence you came. Shoo troll, shoo!
