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.

Thumbs up
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.

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

There's a freeware program called Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) that will scan your computer for outdated and end of life programs that I use regularly.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