Has anyone else had a problem after to trying to upgrade to mozilla firefox 3.5?

Yes, very much so. Upgrading to 3.5.2 mostly fixed it for me though.

None here. Anytime you have Firefox trouble, try creating a new Firefox profile as the first step. That fixes 99.9% of weird problems like that.

Would that transfer my bookmarks?
That is one of the reasons I want Firefox back....

No. Either export them and re-import, or use XMarks to sync them independently (probably best).

Okay I don't know what the problem was but I ultimately had to remove mozilla and reinstall it.... normally I would have just stuck with IE but man, Mozilla just works sooo much better..

Thanks Sanch.

If you don't use addons with Firefox, you might want to give Chrome a try. It's even better than Firefox, if you don't need Firefox's customizability (that's probably not a word).

Chrome is a browser? or a Firefox add on?

It's both, separately. Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome/?hl=en) is Google's browser, a unique program; Firefox's interface/skin component is also called chrome.

Firefox backs up something like the last weeks worth of bookmarks, by the way - you can google how to find them if you need. Twice now my crash lost my bookmarks (I have hundreds of them) and a quick restore from the Firefox directory saved me.

Haven't had any problems with crashing. I don't use any add-ons, which might be why.

If you're not paranoid about the privacy issues around sending your bookmarks to someone else's server, definitely check out XMarks (http://www.xmarks.com/). You never have to worry about them again that way.

Especially nice if you use more than one computer regularly.

I am paranoid, but thanks for posting - that looks useful. The reason I haven't used other internet style bookmarking services is the sheer number of bookmarks I have.

I don't blame you. It's probably smart to be paranoid about these things.

Chrome fixed all of my Firefox issues ;). I only fire Firefox up if I need to use any of the web development plugins that help me step through page elements.

Cheers,
