1189898 2011-04-01 05:18:00 In my case the problem was that some 'png' graphics, those in layers, were not being displayed. I removed 'Add Blocker' and everything was normal.
I can't see any improvements in 4. Maybe 3.6.16 is the peak of Firefox.

I see this with a lot of software, they improve it then run out of ideas and resort to gimmicks resulting in bloat. Remember the days when 8mb of Ram was enough? I had a Word Processor called 'Busy Bee' which ran on a Commodore 64. It had a spell check, & encryption. I use a Word Processor called 'Word Express' on W7. This program came on one floppy about 20 years ago for Windows 3.11 then 32bit for Windows 95. It does tables, layers etc and unlike 'Word for Windows' you can move anything anywhere just like publisher.

I know what you mean. Sometimes a step forward is a step backward.

Office 2007 came with Publisher and you can create a web site using that. Office 2010 came with Publisher and you can't create a web site with that. You can edit a site but you can't make one.

Yes, I do know that not all versions of Office come with Publisher!

1189900 2011-04-01 06:21:00 The plot thickens!
Add-block 1.2.1 was Ok but 1.3.5 was not.
A couple of graphics had the word 'advert' in the title. These were being blocked by Add-block 1.3.5
They moved the goal posts.

Any MS program that created web sites used to create so much bloated crap that they were totally frowned on.

Lots of people frown on MS products.

People frown on Holdens or Fords or AMD or Intel or and etc..........

1189904 2011-04-01 08:06:00 Funny as my Firefox 4 works just fine Agent_24 (57)
1189905 2011-04-01 08:10:00 I have no difficulty with Firefox 4 at all.

Probably as I have not installed it.

I thought to give ff4 a try. Not much different to the last versions of 3.x.
Have been out tonight and came back to see ff using 266mb of memory. with 3 tabs open and 3-4 addons like delicious and ablock and stylish.
This is just to add to another post that talked about progress. Soon need a bigger " machine" to surf the net.:(
