    Yup, 3 plugins that I had in 5 don't work now, it also cleared a couple of my saved shortcuts but other than that I have no other problems.

    Thanks Cliff!
    Yes, I also lost Shortcuts and plugins and it now appears I have lost some login/password associations. However, my main concern is the slow responses to opening bookmarked sites.

    Ah. Now I'm so glad I responded "No. Remind me later" when it came up with the update prompt.

    (Actually, I hit yes but when it informed me that two of my most-used plugins would be disabled... well... I do like installers with "Back" buttons. )
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Ever since I updated to Firefox 6 I can't post a picture using a URL as the source.
    I have to save it first and then add from my computer.
    Is there a fix for this?

    With their new rapid release schedule, it looks like breaking add-ons will become commonplace, so it looks like I'll be on the old version till they either come to their senses or the project gets forked...and I'll take the slow release path...

    Are there add-ons for Chrome??? Scratch that, I just started downloading it to find out what it is like.

    I went to download it and said certain plugins wouldn't work like the Google toolbar so I stopped it. Last week as it kept asking if I wanted download it so I did but I lost the Google toolbar but I have since been able to put the toolbar on.

    It also doesn't allow the gmail symbol for checking your emails. I had to google mine and then bookmark my email so that I could check my emails.
