Having second thoughts, should I install it, someone told me it may not be trustworthy and I"ve about learned how to do all the maintenance myself anyhow. Don't know if I can cancel it, probably.
Zygo...sigh

A nice free clean up program is Glary Utilities - I've been using it for years now - it has a 1 click maintenance button - or you can go into the separate area's for more advanced settings.

well, I upgraded to FF6 by accident....and LOVE it! lol

was real tired last night and ready to shut down when the popup to upgrade started and I accidentally clicked the upgrade now button. Even though I stopped it (I thought)...seems this morning logging on it had upgraded me.

But I am pleased! All bookmarks etc intact and way way faster:)

LOL

Yeah, I told you, "It's great for me".

I love it when things like that happen by "accident" and they work out well. :)

Have no fear. It's great!

Seems to be working well for us too. Just upgraded on return from vacation.

I appears faster than 5 was. We've had no problems so far.

There is a nice feature in 6.0.. If you are like us, you may occasionally X out the wrong field and close down everything.
Your tabs are not lost however. Reboot FF and go to history,
and there is a "resume last session". Click on that, and bingo, you are back in business!

Both of us have done this error once since we got back home.
So RESUME is a very useful tool for US! LOL

I've enjoyed it since I've downloaded it. Took a little while to become used to it but so far it's been great. No troubles.

Do any of you use colorful tabs? I love it since I always have multiple tabs open.

mrsD	09-01-2011 08:45 AM

Yes, we have the color tabs too. But the RESUME session is proving to be the best feature for us.... :Doh:

I keep getting that annoying popup telling me to upgrade but right now my computer is running so well that I do not want to risk anything that could upset that delicate balance lol and new versions sure have a history of doing that!:rolleyes:

I always upgrade my software as soon as one becomes available. Things like Adobe Flash and Reader and notorious for people running exploits against them, and you when you have a vulnerable version installed on your machine.

There's a freeware program called Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) that will scan your computer for outdated and end of life programs that I use regularly.

*admin edit* You can google it if you're interested.

Just remember that the RESUME session won't work if you have "Never Remember History" clicked in Privacy in Options. !

Had to reinstall windows so had to download FF. Seems I'm up to 8! Looks the same as 7 to me. Hope I'm doing the right thing. :confused:
