There is no warning about this, but this upgrade will fry your
bookmarks. We didn't know this, and our laptop is a mess.

They are set up differently, and I haven't had a chance to relearn and understand them.

I won't do this unit, until we get back from vacation, and we study the laptop in detail. Needless to say, I am not a happy camper today!

Well we worked on the laptop after dinner, and low and behold,
the task bar with quick links RETURNED and the bookmarks came back!

So hubby went on a Firefox forum, where the posters say that they sent out a bug fix-- some automated thing that we don't really see on this end. So the fix came in by itself and "fixed" things! I don't understand this myself.

The laptop automatically updates Firefox, but this one you have to "order" it to. So we did not update this computer yet.

I'd still save your bookmarks, just in case, before downloading the newest Firefox!

Just this week I happened to check the FF site and got the newest version FF 3.5.
It didn't give me any troubles though. hooray!

I finally fixed the importing password problem, and my organize bookmarks that wasn't showing anything even though the actual bookmarks are still there.

Here's the thread on that -

There was an update in June... that did kill some of our bookmarks.

This problem is separate from that one. This one came with the big upgrade.

It apparently was reported quickly and a fix was sent out online because within 24 hrs, our laptop fixed ITSELF!

My husband likes the new upgrade in general, but I lost my moderator panel link. I still have it on this computer tho.
I use the laptop upstairs if I go online during the night. I don't like to navigate stairs at those times with my left leg issues. Too risky for a fall. Now that the weather is nice, we bring the laptop to our enclosed porch so we can use it out there, too.
But I still prefer the standard desktop I always use. It has all my files on it etc.

So I guess there is more than one problem with bookmarks!

I downloaded this a few days ago, and it has crashed twice since then. It recovers quickly though.
One anomally that I've noticed is that the Google Spell check has gone silly.
While it picks up a mis-spelt word, it highlights the next one so you cannot correct it automatically. You have to exit spell check and do a manual edit.

ah I've noticed the spell check thing too.
I thought my mouse was slipping and pointing to the wrong word choice.

It only happens once in awhile for me , but I know i pointed the cursor to the right word at the time and a different one would come up.
