I upgraded to the newest version of firefox the other day. Since then I have been having trouble with surfing the net. Its not as fast and it jumps to the next screen(it sometimes takes a while) and sometimes but not often just closes. Is there a way to fix this or go back to the older version without loosing my bookmarks?

Has anyone else experienced this?

are you talking about ff2 ? because im having issues with it,, some pages arent loading up correctly with css and yes speed issues to, even after using fire tune on it, it still dosnt seem to have the stability of the older versions,

i havnt found any fixes yet, but i am thinking of down grading to the older version

I haven't had any of the problems you mentioned but I'm having problems when clicking links which load external apps like Adobe or Word. Totally freezes the app..

Is a downgrade possible without loosing bookmarks?

Try to export them. If that goes well then import them back into the new install.

backing your book marks up is easy,, i do mine the good ole manual way,, just go to your

C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<what ever default number your assigned>

and just copy the file bookmarks.html and thats it

when your ready to use them again just make sure your new firefox is closed first and just over write the new bookmarks.html with your backed up version,,, then start up firefox and presto chango, your done..

Thanks. I dont know if my problems are firefox or the add ons fo firefox. I only have the torrent tracker and the email reminder.

have you tried using firetune on your firefox to tweak the settings for optimal speed ?

Not yet I will try it

strange issues ive never had that problem and i couldnt find any one posting any issues like that on the mozilla forums ,

Actually I did not liked the latest version, that is true that it does not fast as the previous release.

But I think FF did a good job in many things that make me keep using it.
