    Cool. I hope it fixes my buggy firefox. It lags horribly. Safari doesn't seem to have the problem. We will see!

    After using it for a while now, it does seem to have a faster launch time and loads web pages faster.
    I thought it was just my ISP giving me a laggy connection when using the earlier ver.
    I noticed there are some add ons that will not work with the new version.
    If you had [FoxForcast] which was a weather program add-on.
    It doesn't work and you have to uninstall it.
    The alternate to it is [ForecastBar Enhanced] which is a better FoxForecast updated.
    Microsoft Net Framework Assistant isn't compatible with 3.5.1 either.
    Un-install it before you update to the 3.5.1 because it locks in and you can't un-install it after you update.
    It turns Grey and is not removable.
    If you were a smileys add-on user, that doesn't work with 3.5.1 either.
    There's no firefox add-on alternate either that I know of.
    I was a big fan of that one and used it often.
    I'm sure there are other add-ons that don't work and need alternative add-ons installed.
    3.5.1 checks for alternates for you after install.
    It reads your add-ons and asks if you want to check for alternates.
    Xmarks works fine in both older and new Firefox, so no worries there.
