hi there.



My firebox browser launches after about 3 mins after i click on it, and this suddenly started happening after it got upgraded to 3.6.3 ( i guess so).

Hoping for some assistance in this matter.

Thanks for your reply but i have many important add-ons and i am 2 lazy to install them again.
thanks for your help.
any other suggestions??

Get FEBE AddOn that backs up all your AddOns.

Besides, when you uninstall if it asks you to remove all settings just click NO.
But it's a good idea to have FEBE anyway. How many AddOns do you have?

Do you have the installer for 3.6.2?
When I try a higher version I make sure to have the installer for the current one in case I have to back it off. I uninstall/ reinstall and all the AddOns are still there. Just don't delete your profile.

otoh now I'm mainly using SRWare Iron. It's lightning fast off the HD and I only need 2 extensions to do 98% of what I can do with Firefox using about 15 AddOns. It's lean and fast. The main thing I can do why I need to keep Firefox is Secure Login lets me log into servers where I have more than one account. That's about the only weakness(and I just launch FF when I have to go to that site.)

What's 3.6.3 have that 3.6.2 doesn't? It's faster just to uninstall.
Maybe the incompatibility is something he wants to keep using.

Why does he need to do that? Is somebody making him use 3.6.3? If it works in 3.6.2 then use 3.6.2. Like I said, what's 3.6.3 have that 3.6.2 doesn't?

Firefox 3.6.3 fixes a critical security issue that could potentially allow remote code execution (see bug 555109).

Alot of Add-Ons that use lots of Javascript, Firefox can be slow with. I don't know why, it's just something I heard off a Sound Forge forum.

The point is, if the OP states he is too lazy to install and uninstall, is he going to one by one trace down all the AddOns? It's unrealistic. The potential for remote execution is probably pretty close to nil if he's running NoScript and/or Sandboxie.

But if you can get the OP to state how many AddOns he has and can get him to systematically remove them one at a time and reinstall them, if the total is at least a dozen I'll Rep you!!
