I can't help but think that it looks weird without the forward button (but I guess I could get used to that).
Also I've only noticed how much bigger Firefox 4-10 is compared to Firefox 3.6, surely you could de-bloat it a bit?

The slowest Firefox EVER.
Go to any website or click any link you want and watch the beatiful, colourful "beachball" spinning.

It's the "Ant Video Downloader Plug-in". It sucks.
Deactivated it and now firefox works properly.

"Firefox is made by Mozilla, a non-profit dedicated to making the Web a better place." - But didn't they get like a few 100 millions by Google... exactly...

This doesn't mean that the company doesn't require a steady flow of cash to pay for servers, licences, ect.

I've generally been very pleased with FF9.01, however, one fairly serious issue that I've been experiencing is the matter of ad-ons.
I've got 8 add-ons installed as well as several personas. They've all been working well, for the most part, but every so often a few will become automatically disabled as being incompatible.
Currently, all of them are disabled as incompatible. This glitch apparently happens when Mozilla issues minor updates for 9.0.1.
I've notified Mozilla about this but so far no joy.
I'd like to stick with a stable v9.0.1 instead of going w/the release channel.
Does anyone have a link to a stable v9.0.1 download?

I think the problem is with macupdate, which advertises these updates far too earlier, before they're officially tested and recognized. So please, list updates only when they have been cleared!

1) Firefox gets slower and slower with each open tab (even if they all only contain static content) and inevitably crashes under the strain.
2)Sophos Anti-Virus keeps reporting that there are corrupt files in the Profiles. As an example:
com.sophos.intercheck: Corrupt file: /Users/XXXXXX/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/srjawp7b.default/Cache/8/2C/9DD14d01
Problems 1 and 2 appear to be connected, as the Sophos errors seem to be logged around the times I get the SBOD from Firefox. At one point the Activity Monirot showed Firefox eating 102% of CPU time. I've had as many as three of these show up in a row in the logs. It's possible there is a virus involved, but I don't know what. Clearing caches has no impact.
This morning version 7.0 upgraded itself to 7.0.1, and promptly popped up a window telling me the Profiles could not be read. Johnny-come-lately finally figured out there was a problem!
3) Plugins not working or not showing up at all, most notably QuickTime, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and DivX Web Player:
- QuickTime no longer handles imbedded MP3 files properly; they either don't load or don't play. A forced reload of the frame by itself will allow the media to play occasionally but it isn't consistent - repeated tests on the same page resulted in sporadic success - while loading it within the original frame will result in either nothing or a message that the QT plugin is missing (even though it shows up in the Tools > Add-ons list).
- Adobe Acrobat Reader is another story; as I examine the list of plugins and compare it to the directory, I can clearly see that the reader plugin is in the directory, but it does not show up in the about:plugins list or the Tools > Add-ons list. Every time I encounter a page with an in-line viewable pdf I get the Missing Plugin image, but I have gone through the proposed upgrading and installation each time without improvement. This may be a problem with Adobe Acrobat.
- DivX Web Player has been incompatible since upgrading to version 4 or 5, but it still shows up in the about:plugin list of enabled plugins. Not sure why or how to get rid of it.
None of these problems existed in version 3.6. I am left with only one conclusion: this rapid development route Firefox is on is less than ideal. I'm left with two choices: downgrade to v3.6 again or move to a competitor's product. I'm open to suggestions.
