    Firefox problems

    Firefox has some annoying problems and the recent version 3.5.2 has a problem with Flash player. I was going to Youtube and got the message that the Flash player was not installed. I saw on the FF site there are a number of comments about that and it is not a Mac problem.

    Another (already old) problem is the History menu. When I select a link from the History menu, nothing happens. I open the menu again, which has now shifted down to include recent pages and it works.

    A problem I sometimes have is that websites do not express Javascript and/or CSS and the site only shows the text. I noticed this problem, when FF was open for some time. Have no idea why this is so.

    Which plugin do you have? The debugger version?

    Yeah, I think so because of Flex. However, the problem started only after upgrading FF to the newest version.

    I discovered a new problem. On some websites I am regularly visiting textboxes have disappeared or are screwed up. I cannot log into Godaddy.com any more using FF and another important site for me as well.

    Install the non-debug version for Firefox, or for IE... and use that browser for crucial surfing.

    I've not had any problems since the last update for the Flash debugger version with the security updates.

    It is not only that. As I pointed out some forms don't work any more. I deactivated all tools but nevertheless the problem is there. On the Mozilla site many people are reporting all kinds of problems. This newest version 3.5.2 seems to be a screw up. I am using Safari from now on.

    There's always options. If you've found that the problem is with the browser - I've yet to run into this - then switch up as you've done; and as I've said earlier.

    Firefox is dead from 3.5.1 on already and definitely with 3.5.2. I don't understand what they have done to that browser.

    Found the problem. However, they are stupid to do such a thing. Javascript is automatically disabled when upgraded. It has to be enabled first.
