I went back to version 8. I did not recover the old screen composition but did regain the speed I lost with version 9. I use a lot of 3 tier screens on bookmarks. The screens used to be smaller but now they are so big that when the third tier screen pops up it flips back to the left side overlaying the first tier screen. Both screens being white on white makes for a split second look to see where the starting point is. A nuisance and unnecessary change in my book. Thanks for the link. It worked perfectly.

I imported my post from another thread. FF12 beta 1 was released around March 16, 2012, followed by five more betas. The most recent beta 6 around April 18, 2012. A supposed final was released around April 22, 2012. I have read that there is some user confusion as to it being an actual final version, or just a RC (release candidate). I have also read some reported concerns regarding stability of this final/RC version. I myself am waiting for a clarification and a popular position on the release. As always, with any application a user must use caution when exploring betas and RCs. DA

yes all critical updates listed in the windows update list should be done, even for programs you do not use, if they are on the pc and have a hole in them which creates a vulnerbility it has to be patched or you are wide open to intrusion, makes no difference how often you use it. If you choose to not move up to IE8 and keep IE7 you still need to do any updates issued for that version of IE. this is why the secuina tool is so helpful to keep us updated on all the things we need to be updated on. Secunia Online Software Inspector be sure if it shows java or flash or adobe needs updating to do them they are huge risks for infections with out the latest updates. You should only have the latest versions on your pc, once you have the latest version you can go to add remove programs and remove the older versions to keep the pc safe.

The only problem I have had is my "red cats/green flavor theme add on kept changing to a terrible black tool bar that was unreadable. I kept messing with it and it seems to be staying now. I have my status bar on and I had trouble getting to one site and Java script was setting in it. Eventually it got in. I don't usually have a problem of any kind with FF. Maybe they are rushing things. Those are small problems and I am sticking with the latest version.
