Firefox

[ksmith]

Is anyone else noticing that the latest version of Firefox occasionally steers you toward third party programs? This has happened to me twice in the last week--one was to a registry clean-up program and the other was supposed to fix errors in, iirc, the registry. Both the detour signs had the Firefox logo in the corner, so either Firefox is in partnership with these folks (or they're Firefox programs) or someone has figured out how to hack Firefox quite neatly.

I was using Firefox as my default browser, but I don't like this stuff. I have also noticed that I need to close down and restart FF every so often because links stop working. It just doesn't seem to be working as smoothly as it did when I first got it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I thought I had some sort of infection--not likely with a mac, but there's always a first time.

I've just found Firefox to be more and more unstable lately. It's annoying.

Yeah, and it gets worse with every upgrade.

Growing pains.
