Caveat.....not a good idea to upgrade if you are running Windows XP....it is not totally compatible with FF 3.5. Causes slow loading of pages and other annoyances. As far as I know, those bugs haven't been fixed yet, although a fix has been promised. Edited by HelenaZF, Jul 20 2009, 07:32 PM.

There are help topics all over the place about the XP issues, so it's affecting a number of users.

To be honest you're the first (and only) person I've heard is having problems with it, and Google doesn't seem to give any results that pertain to what your problems are.

No problems running Firefox 3.5 on XP at all. I have it installed both XP computers at home and work.

Also, firebug keeps telling me to reload the page for it to work...............

Retired Soliloquist Posts: 2,939 Group: Members Member #54,295 Joined: May 14, 2005 I'm Browsing With Firefox 3	I did notice one problem in Firefox after 3.5 - the Google search snaps to page 1 occasionally when I click on some other page (the link is actually wrong, if you read the URL). I haven't had this problem last week when I was away in a place that used 3.0.
