There were 3 addons not supported as yet. I only used those rarely anyway. The test video offered after install was very jerky. Both image and sound. Then there is this video: http://videos.mozilla.org/firefox/3.5/meet/meet.ogv EDIT: I just spent 30 minutes trying to find out the below. Thought this might help others. Hide the tab bar when there’s only one tab open To restore Firefox 3.0’s default behavior of hiding the tab bar when there’s only one tab, in Options/Tab, uncheck Always show the tab bar.

Stuff Happens
The first thing I would do is start Firefox without any addons. The easiest way to do that is Start/ All Programs/ then mouse over Mozilla Firefox and choose "safe mode". If Firefox opens without the slow load, I would add back one addon at a time to find out which one is causing the problem. The next thing I would try is a reinstall. It is always a good idea to backup bookmarks before installing a new browser. If I had the same problem after uninstalling thru the Add/Remove, I would do a complete uninstall of Firefox. Meaning deleting profile, too. |

Thanks for the tip. I like having more viewable real estate when only one tab is open.

You're Welcome.
Here is another one. Last night Firefox locked up while I was viewing a PDF. It seems Firefox wants to open the PDF inside the browser. After checking in options/ applications, I changed that by clicking on each of four Adobe listings, then clicking to open the drop down menu on the right and changed from opening with Firefox to opening using Adobe Reader. No more lock up after testing with the same PDF. This post has been edited by buddy215: Jul 6 2009, 08:28 PM |
