This is annoying the life outta me, every time i minimize firefox every open page moves back to the top of the page. ARGH!!!

And it keeps telling to download 0.9.1 but thats what im using hmmph

Maybe you're being annoying! Never question Firefox!

Try re-installing in a different folder. You won't lose your settings when you move the application folder.

Yeah this seems to be happening to everyone. I even turned of the "check for updates" option and it still happens. Some kinda small code glitch. I'll bet it's fixed in the nightlies.

Enter "about:config" (without the quotes) in the address/URL bar. Enter "update" (without the quotes) in the filter box, then right-click any prefs shown in bold and select reset in the context-menu. Then make sure to turn off all software and extension update preferences (Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Software Update) - but leave "Allow web sites to install software" alone.

Thanks to Hendikins and Steffen for this.

Hopefully that should work. If it doesn't, feel free to post your problem in a seperate thread. Thank you!



AHA!!

IE hasn't given me a problem in a very long time. Someone convince me why I need Firefox.

Because Firefox is so hot right now.

* Popup blocker built in - 'Nuff said
* Open source - Whether Firefox is natively more secure than IE is debatable. But with it being open source there's greater chance that any major security threat will have a fix faster than IE would.
* Tabbed browsing - Each tab displays a web page, instead of each web page having it's own window, cluttering your desktop and taskbar
* Extensions - Adds more functionality to IE by adding things like enhanced popup blocking (Flash ads ^_^), mouse gestures, etc.

I've downloaded Firefox a few days ago and have had nothing but problems with it. I think it has to do with the way it's configured, or interacting with other programs like Black Ice.

I haven't had a single unwanted popup since using it and ad/spy/malware is reduced if not completely denied. Adblock is also a cool extension I recommend for Firefox. Tabbed browsing is also a cool little bonus, but I mainly use it for security.
