Has anyone else been having problems using Firefox since their latest upgrade?
Been a right nuisance for me and no idea how to resolve.

No it works fine here. Perhaps if you mentioned exactly what is wrong you might get some help.

Hi Twingo
From pages freezing, tools bars missing and returning, webcams running slow or not running at, sites not loading or taking ages and pages that opened with a right click not opening or opening then stopping.
Not just me either others I know have had the same problem.
I can't really go into detail because I just not an expert on pc's which adds to the problem of not knowing what to look for to resolve it.
I've even done system restore and achieved nothing, apart from being told I need updates which take me back to the problems.
I want to uninstall but have that many book marks with info a need on them I don't want to lose them.

Trial and error might find the culprit
There have been reported flash problems & if your graphics card is too old
hardware acceleration should be turned off
Personally I've given FF4 the ass as their going to be up to FF7 by December...hopefully by then all the gremlins which seem to be effecting individuals randomly will be history

It's quite easy to save your bookmarks (I do it from time to time as a just in case).
Click on the bookmarks menu, click 'show all bookmarks' (on older versions it used to be called 'organise bookmarks'), click 'import & backup', and choose 'export html', save the file somewhere you can find it again. To restore go through the same procedure, but click 'import html' instead.
Once that is done a complete uninstall and *re-install may just do the trick.
*download the latest installer file from mozilla.com
