    I would recomend uninstalling it then reinstalling it unless you have bookmarks you need to save if you do Just try a reinstall.

    Has anyone else noticed that typing, like in the Quick Reply box I'm in right now, is annoying delayed with this new version...?

    Make sure that none of the filkes in your browser's directory are marked as 'read-only'...

    Try deleting your profile.

    Start > Run and put "%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles" (without quotes) and delete the folder that appears. Launch Firefox and it should create a profile again.

    BH: I'd like to try that, to see if I can get rid of this obnoxious delay, but doing so (deleting that folder) looks like it'll nuke all my customizations. True?

    Customizations as in extensions or files you've actually edited?

    Extensions, bookmarks/bookmark bar, alias entries, custom search bar... etc.

    I've noticed it with links, too. If I mouse-over a lot of links at once, it does the effects (underlining) delayed. This is getting really annoying.

    Hmm. For the bookmarks, open your profile folder and backup bookmarks.html. Not sure what you mean about alias entries and for the search, you could easily add them back (and I have't found what file it is or located in).

    [Edit]Found it. Go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox and backup the folder named "searchplugins". Well, I don't think you'll need to back up that since it's not in the profile folder. Uh.. do it anways.[/Edit]

    Oh, and I just nailed down the delayed thing, too. It's something wrong with Tabbrowers Extensions. NOT Tabbrowser Preferences (also an extension, albeit one that's pretty much useless). Weird. I really need having this installed, too :(

    Edit again: Apparently even Mozilla recommends against using TBE [TabBrowser Extensions]. Use TabMix. It seems to do everything the other could, without being bulky. The one thing I really miss is having the "loading" bar on the tabs, with the nice-looking green bit and all. This just has some crappy purple one. Oh well.

    Oh God. It's huge. I'll have to read through it all tonight. But TabMix does everything I need, except two. The green loading bar on the tabs (like the one on the bottom), instead of the purple. And the ability to hold middle mouse button and scroll.

    I don't really want to install it again, because it had conflicts or errors. Whichever came first. I've also noticed I'm using a lot less memory now. So yeah, I'll have to read through that and dig up a few extra extensions.

    I installed TabMix last night and as of yet, it's worked well.

    For the color thing, I'm guess that's so you can tell the difference between the active and inactive tabs and for scrolling you can set it to scroll without holding the middle mouse button and just using the mousewheel.

    I've been noticing that, since I've updated to 1.0.4, I'm seeing pop-ups.

    This is the first time that I've seen pop-ups, since installing Firefox beta.

    Is anybody else getting this problem?
