I like the speed in the 3.5 version! Some add-ons aren't yet 3.5 capable, and I needed to reinstall Web Developer.
Best regards,

I would use FF but it does not work with my laptop touchpad and "gestures" for navigating back-a-page. If any FF gurus know how to fix this I would appreciate the info.

What is providing the touchpad gestures? or are you on a Mac? |

I think lddaly is refering to a "touchpad" computer (where the screen is touch-sensitive), not the built-in touch-sensitive area below the keyboard on a Toshiba laptop. I too have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Vista And, no, I don't think there is a 'gesture' add-on to enable FF to behave like IE8 on a touchpad computer. |

No. I meant what software was enabling the touchpad gestures. My Dell laptop touchpad doesn't do this apparently. |

I misspoke! There is an add-on for Tablet PCs with Adobe-style gestures https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1250 |

I went to 3.5, but was disappointed in how many of my add-ins didn't work, especially the Adblock stuff. Noticed the ads immediately on Weather Underground, and at first thought they changed their format!  Silly me...  That usually happens with a new release, though, and the application writers soon catch up. Firefox is awesome, but there's plenty of other good browsers out there too. |

No lockup on my StormVue with FF 3.5 (just tested). Do you have Java 2 Standard Edition 5.0 Update 6 (5.0.65.5) with Plugin 1.5.0_60 for Netscape Navigator (DLL helper) That's the version that works for me on FF3 without issues. Best regards, Ken |

pc gets very unresponsive

I upgraded to the new FF as well. What I am seeing is that I usually have 5 or 6 tabs open. Since the upgrade, when I try to reload one of the tabs, it opens in a new window instead of reloading the tab. It's quite annoying.

When 3 came out. I tried it and removed it because I felt it was slower and clumsier than FF 2. I also had the tab problem. One main thing that thought was a waste of space was its over verboseness in the url window. Instead of 1 line per link you got 2 lines with the first one being the link and the line underneath it saying what the link is. I know that www.cnn.com IS CNN ! I even tried a patch that would reset the interface to V2 work alike and it didnt do it very well. I tried 3.5 and removed it too. Seems like they haven't got it right yet. |

I think there's an add-on to fix that. Tab Mix Plus? No...that's not patched yet...err, I'll bet there's something in the extensive add-on list at Mozilla. I know there's a way to fix that Slow Modem. |

The addons compatibility is the main reason I tend to be a slow adopter of new versions of FF |
