I don’t mind it, but I know that many users feel annoyed that in version 3, the “Back”-button in Firefox is large and round, as opposed to the same size as the “Forward”-button.

My problems have, as I mentioned, been twofold; first there is the universal problem of not being able to add extensions, and second there is the problem of Firefox crashing on one of my machines. The error data for the crashes look like this: AppName: firefox.exe AppVer: 1.8.20080.31114 ModName: firefox.exe ModVer: 1.8.20080.31114 Offset:… Continue reading Firefox 2.0.0.13 crashes, unable to add extensions part two – the solution
