Is it going to disable all my streaming radio site, lose all my bookmarks and browsing history like the last time I upgraded to 3.03?

[Malsua]

I didn’t have any trouble.

Thanks for the heads-up.

[Dead Corpse]

Nope. I just updated mine. Worked fine. Even left me logged into FR. ;-)

Who knows...the firefox forums are not much help...I need a 64 bit version...don’t see it.

Does anybody no anything about Comodo firewall?

It appears that it is only available with the anti-virus program now?

Was it always like that?

[1_Rain_Drop]

hmmm...I use Comodo. It isn't a firewall anymore?!!
will have to look into that. Thanks for the heads up.

[Retired Greyhound]

I think it is both a Firewall and Anti-virus package.

I was going to install the firewall last night, but held back because I already have Avast for AV protection. Don’t want another.

I rec'd that update via the auto update function.

Sadly, I can't tell when I got it. The Installed date reads as Jan. 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM!

Furthermore, I've been having problems lately. Such as a huge amount of memory being used (340,000kb) with 4 tabs open, and sometimes, when I have multiple tabs open, clicking on one produces the hour glass and a 30 second to 1 minute or so wait for anything to happen.

I've been thinking, perhaps, it was an errant add on, but disabling them makes no difference at all.

[papasmurf]

I use Comodo on this box. Can you explain a little more?

[libbylu]

I switched to Opera a couple of weeks ago. Thunderbird crapped,then Firefox. Thunderbrid crapped out on my sis last fall, she is still using Firefox.

Does anybody no anything about Comodo firewall?

Know, I don't no anything about it.

[Retired Greyhound]

Know thank you. I should have nown that someone would notice that.

[GLDNGUN]

Does it still slow to crawl if you open up several tabs at once? I used to think FF was great, but then it got slower than IE, so I’ve switched back to IE. I know I’m just one of many who did.

[papasmurf]

Ah, I see. It looks like they may be only offering the “combo” for download now. I wonder if I’ll be forced to switch?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I have plenty of memory and horsepower so I don’t notice any slowdown...running Ubuntu Jaunty Alpha 5 64 bit...at the moment....FF 3.0.6 yet.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I’d be glad to see an update that fixes all memory leak issues in FF. Mine is currently running at a 181 Mb usage. Up from where it started at 51Mb 4 hours ago.

There are a bazillion threads at the forum about upgrading to 3.03 and the loss of bookmarks, etc. It was a real pain. In fact, it wiped out a lot of stuff in Thunderbird. I had a heck of a time finding the backups.

Has me scared to death about upgrading.
