I have been monitoring their progress, they have Firefox 7 in Beta already.

It does seem to be snappier.

I am running 6.0 today as well.

Do not try to run Java 7 with this build of Firefox, the only issue I know about so far.

:3 Some pages like Reddit and Tigerdirect look like that.

Well Firefox automatically upgraded me to 6 and I am a bit perturbed. My son used the computer just before me and perhaps he clicked Ok to something but the next time I used it, it updated with no user choices. There was 2 or three add-ons that I use which are not yet compatible and it also mentioned something about Java not able to work. Well I opened an FF page and then clicked on Tool>add-ons and the page won't even load!

Anyone know off the top of their head how to put FF on manual upgrade? I usually like to wait until I no longer get compatibility issues. Now on to search if 1, I can roll back to FF5, and 2, to shut off auto-updates.

Tools>Options>Advanced>Updates to make it notify without loading the update automatically.

You should be able to download Firefox 5.o from here:

Hopefully everything will load cleanly, post how it goes.

I figured out my problem, disabled hardware acceleration in Firefox by Tools - Options, Advanced tab, disable hardware acceleration.

My background was bleeding through, thanks to Aero.

post how it goes.

A little patience went a long ways. It only took a few days and the add-ons I like became active again with the exception of the Java applets. The add-on page also loads now but it runs slow and slows my machine as well so I don't leave it open for long, just long enough to check (just a few seconds ago) on things.
