Do I have to upgrade to Firefox 4 or can I keep the version I have now (Firefox 3, I think)? I've seen FF 4 and don't like it. I'm fine with the version I have now. Just wondering if it's mandatory I change or should I for security reasons?

We have Firefox 4 and it just updated to 4.1 last night.
I like it better than 3... 3 was taking FOREVER to load up from a boot. It was driving me crazy. The only thing I see so far with 4... is that sometimes if you close a tab the whole series goes! But that doesn't happen all the time. Maybe it is ME... It only took one day for me to get used to it. I think it is better overall. The "home" icon moved, and also the refresh, but overall I think it is much faster. There is a bar along the bottom now where the other icons went (for us it is only one)... That was hubby's download helper thingy.

I'm staying with 3.6.16 for now as FF4 doesn't support our Zone Alarm Extreme's Browser protection, hopefully they will get that fixed soon.
FF4 is very customizable if I recall, I only tried it a short time and dh or ds picked up a pesky little bug so i went back to the old version for the extra ZA protection. you should be OK kitty, security wise and they may make some changes to FF4 due to input from users.

I downloaded it. Not much different than the prior one but I did notice the "home" icon moved.

Yes, it IS much much faster. Opening and closing.
My start up was so messed up before on 3. No longer!
