I've discovered massive problems with FF 3.5.2 (glad I installed on a testing PC). I use 3.0.13 on my main machine and have the raw install file for that version in Windows and Linux flavor. If anybody wants it, I can provide my copy or post the link to get it direct from mozilla.
The similar problems I've had with 3.5.2 on other sites seems to trace back to the enhanced privacy features of the new FF. The FF development team has been cranking their goodies out way too fast and not testing very well first. For the past year, I refuse to update to a newer version until others have had it 3 months. Then I read about the bugs and thank myself for not having to be so 'bleeding-edge'.
My suggestion: back up your FF profiles and bookmarks, then completely remove all instances of firefox and profiles. Then install 3.0.13, turn off the FF automatic updates, and restore your bookmarks. Then get your favorite add-ons and install those from scratch and configure them properly. Then, if you want to tweak and tune - go see my firefox tutorial in the subscriber section.
Lastly, when you get the pop-ups that say 3.5.2 is available, click NO ** WAY.
Even with update notification off, they still try to shove the new version down your throat. I'm suspicious of that. Why are they trying so hard to ANNOY us into getting the update? Used to be, you just click NO once, and you'd never see the update alert again. Now, it's every couple hours. I wonder who managed to weasel their way on the team and for what purpose?
