I think its ridiculous that Windows is still not seeing a 64 bit version, I like Firefox, but I love 64 bit exploring as well. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, and its amazingly fast, it bugs me sooo much that were the last to get it, Linux, then Mac (go figure), then Windows, the wait is killing me.

Hopefully this will stop the constant crashes I get whenever i click anywhere on a Flash page - no warning, just suddenly no Firefox. It's a right pain in the backside, and if it wasn't for the lack of add-ons I might have switched allegiance to Chrome as a result

Firefox still the best (thanks to useful add-ons), though is not the fastest. I hope that new version of FF will be much faster.

Can one turn off this very annoying geolocation gizmo? It might be useful to web sites, but honestly, I am more concerned with what's useful to me and that's certainly *not* the geolocation. What am I talking about? I am traveling a lot. Every time I get into a new country and type something into a Google search in my Firefox I get results as well as all other information on the Google page in a new language. Even if previously I set a cookie requesting it to be in English. The reason - in the new country there is a new Google web site which wants to set up its own cookie. Same with all other sites that want to provide me with the localized info. But I do not want their localized info, I want to keep getting *my* local info regardless of my current location.

FF 3.5 is a sack of over rated bloat.

Crashes have fixed themselves for me, but I am constantly barraged with add-on updates. I only have 3 or 4 add ons and I'm fed up with slow start up times due to unnecessary updates that don't work to begin with.

I just upgraded to Firefox 3.5
Now when I run Firefox, a dialog box says to restart Firefox.
I run Firefox again and a dialog box says to restart Firefox.
It's caught in a loop.
Firefox tech support web list nothing about this cure.
