I have had serious issues with FF2.0 -- crashing and whatnot... I might actually go back to 1.5.x :( Im not familiar with this problem — I would maybe try backing up your bookmarks, then completely uninstalling/reinstalling FF.

I just installed Firefox 2.0, and all of a sudden, my username/password isn't being inserted in the signon window (it always was before). I tried the usual suspects--I did not mistakenly tell FF not to remember the password for this site; and I also tried the remember password bookmarklet, but all to no avail--FF will not ask me to remember this password. What do I need to do to get around this? Help me please…

Disable Greasemonkey for a fair comparison -- if you have a script that runs on every site, you're going to see a fair amount of slowdown as Greasemonkey mutates sites. If videos/music aren't playing in Firefox, grab Quicktime. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html If it's something else, post it. It might be something easily repairable.

BUT I still have two complaints: 1) It seems slower than IE to me. 2) Sometimes I still have to view certain pages in IE else they dont work right. When using IE I never had to reopen a page in FF because it didnt work right :P Ok, so admittedly, now that I have all the extentions installed properly im digging firefox.

I have not messed with any extensions up to this point. I have liked FF better than IE just as it was. Cool … thanks Thom ….I see one or two that I will try.
