    Default FireFox Upgrade

    I don't use FF as my everyday browser so I don't know how long the new upgrade has been out that I installed today, V3 I think. Anyway after I installed it none of the addon plugins worked eg realplayer etc. If you depend on them don't upgrade just yet as I had to uninstall and go back to the old one.

    Yes Mini! FF current version is 3.0.5. I have had no problems with plug-ins what-so-ever with FF.
    Check the Mozilla Firefox web site for any reported issues.

    I use FF3.04 at present and all add-ons are working fine, with one exception, the RealPlayer video downloader does not work. I now use FastVideo.

    The other "issue" I have with FF3.0 is the FreeBookSpot site, it doesn't like FF so I use IE when I go there, other than that I really like FF and wouldn't consider using any other browser.

    The Foxmark bookmark synchroniser alone is worth its' weight in gold. If I bookmark a site on the laptop, it automatically gets synchronised with the desktop.

    Just remove the add-ons and plug-ins that are broken and as you go about you usual internetting the web sites will tell you which plug-in to install.

    My recommended add-ons:

    adblock plus
    answers
    customizegoogle
    downloadhelper
    flashblock
    net usage item

    I don't use FF as my everyday browser so it really doesn't worry me except the RealPlayer plugin doesn't work and that does annoy me as I use it to DL online video, just as Bigshed does. Apart from that it is a non issue for me and would only affect daily users. I only posted it citing the issue I had as a heads up.
