   Reviewing 3.5.16 (May 24, 2011)

   Firefox 4.0 Has worked pretty good, except that they didn't bring forward from 3.5 the 'STOP' or the (X) Button ! I find this quite annoying when the odd web sight loads offering to scan your computer for you and you decide to use the Task manager to close Firefox ,then you restart Firefox And Firefox 4.0 Reloads the Same problematic page and There is NO 'Stop' in 4.0 it makes for an interesting 20 minutes trying to get Firefox 4.0 back going again! I'm going to see if I can get back to Firefox 3.5 without loosing everything!?

   It's really sad. I've used this browser for many years and it was definitely the best. Now I won't touch it. I call it the update a day browser. I get warnings from NOD32 when I try to install it. I can and do ignore Windows warning messages, but when I get warnings from NOD32, I pay attention.

   @JEDWARDP-
   
   Quite right, it was do to Ghostery extension and I have removed that and all worked properly. But this was not evident in the beginning, it took a bit to find it but I did with the help of others on the Mozilla website. So Ghostery was removed and all works alright now. Just to say, some extensions are quite problematic at best, so all should be aware of that...

   Reviewing 3.5.7 (Feb 14, 2010)

   When I experienced the problem described by reviewer LakotaElf, it was due entirely to a buggy extension (Ghostery, in my case), rather than with Firefox itself.
   
   Otherwise, it has been, and continues to be, the best browser I've used on both Windows and Linux, and continues to best both IE and Opera.

   If you are having a problem with extensions in an update, you need the nightly tester tools. It will allow you to force an older extension to work.

   I hope they make it better. Lately I am having huge problems with this running just okay. Been using firefox 2 since that seems to be way better.

   Big speedup over currently released Firefox, on the XP machine I tried this on. While the ACID 3 test isn't perfect yet, it's much closer.
