I have rebooted this laptop more in the last couple days than I have over the last 6 months.
What ever it is (real or malware) it seems to function now.:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set! -

They have switched to a fast-release schedule so they renamed the code projects, making a version of 4 into 5. They did it because there were tons of complaints about the slow releases and Google was throwing new versions of Chrome out the door like a cookie factory. -

The kids desktop does occasionally lock up, but I'm pretty sure that may have more to do with a slight user error on her part.

OptionsXantcha Member Posts: 64 ■■□□□□□□□□Still running 3.6 on all my systems. I think if they are trying to play catch up with Google and MS on version releases then they are bound to fudge a few things up.
I also run Iron browser on some systems. -

Isn't it better to necro a thread (especially one you created) instead of creating a new one?MCTS: Windows Vista, Configuration

Dude, there's nothing wrong with reviving an old thread that's two months old. Especially when it's completely relevant to the person's post. Firefox 6 came out right after Firefox 5, and I have to say that was pretty unusual. If you want to see some serious necro-threading on TE, check the permalinks below.

http://www.techexams.net/forums/windows-2000-core/2787-passed.html#post531834
is how many people saw the topic of "passed" and wrote congrats. Didn't read. Didn't think "hmmm why is someone passing a 2000 exam in 2011?"
But lets try to keep this on the topic of Firefox 4/5/6. What is prompting the quick releases? Trying to beat IE to version 10?Decide what to be and go be it. -
OptionsJDMurray Admin Posts: 13,027 AdminFirefox versions 7 and 8 are due out before long: Firefox 7 add-on compatibility, and looking forward to 8 | Mozilla Add-ons Blog
Mozilla obviously isn't using the traditional version numbering scheme, otherwise they'd be on v4.2.x.
