In a nutshell:

Windows XP SP3 32-bit

1. FireFox 3.5 is extremely slow to load. But worse, it doesn't seem to unload
from memory consistently, either, requiring a "kill" from task manager.

2. Websites that worked fine under older versions of FireFox now cause all
sorts of havoc under 3.5, some not easy to describe. Not sure if this is
being caused by FireFox 3.5 or NoScript which was updated recently.

3. When forced to kill FireFox 3.5, it remains in the task list and worse
the amount of memory it uses continues to increase at a steady clip. Why
would this be happening? It makes no sense. Requires killing FireFox in
task manager.

Guys, you have some serious issues with FireFox 3.5. I hope you have a fix
soon or some of us will be forced to use alternatives.

Extensions installed:

NoScript, McAfee Site Advisor

I may have the same problems with the second issue Arnold bought up.

I can surf fine under XP Service Pack 2 with FF 3.5, but I think one of the XP hotfixes from Windows Update after updating to Service Pack 3 causes some sites from either loading completely or rendering correctly.

I have the same problem as Point One and Three and its all the time, rather than now and again. Obviously I dont have a solution but I thought I would add in, that others, have a similar problem.

Half the times I cant kill a particular tab. Even after pressing "x" button it would not kill the tab. Control + W does not work.

I cant even write a web address on the address bar. The cursor takes forever to come after typing in one letter..

I had to actually use IE to even post this mesage.

Yes, same problem. Crashed like 10 times already and the Ctrl+T does not work, the Open the New Tab doesn't work either.

Also today, all my Fast Dial settings were gone!!!

I agree with weigner...Firefox is still better than IE but please fix these little issues.

Thanx,

I face the same issues. FF 3.5 takes ages to load, hogs up shit load of memory and ultimately it has to be killed from task manager. It seems like FF 3.5 developers learned a few system hogging techniques from Adobe Reader developers!

I forgot to mention at times (esp. during flash pages) the mouse pointer disappeared! I have the latest flash player installed!

A problem i been having is tabs closed while exiting do not load after restarting. Rather, it will say "well, this is embarrassing" and the tabs wont load from last quit; maybe it's suppose to do that?

I have the same issues.
windows vista, whatever latest update is, 64 bit home premium on an AMD Turion X2 Ultra with 4G memory. CONSTANTLY, even when nothing nothing is open on the computer, the memory and pc processes are up to 50% or more. This was not the case BEFORE i "upgraded" to 3.5.
--cursor disappears on pages with flash, or even divx
--extremely slow to load anything
--uses WAAAY more processing power than it should (actually, i was using chrome and IE8 and they do the same thing now — before all worked well)
--in page video is jumpy, constantly refreshing and sound is bad now

I WANT 3.0! is there anywhere i can DL the older version?

I had a problem with 3.5 and wrote messages to Firefox without getting a reply.

To get any older version of Firefox go to this website:

Suggest copy Bookmarks to a file for safekeeping, then uninstall Firefox 3.5, then Google Mozilla Firefox 3.0.11 to find Mozilla website. Search for 3.0.11 among other versions & install when found. This worked for me & all Bookmarks should arrive on 3.0.11.

It is not necessary to uninstall Firefox and to save any bookmarks, they automatically get imported when re-installing v.3.0.11.
Firefox just writes over the 3.5 version without anything else needed to be done! I've done it on 2 computers already.

I find 3.5 is SLOWER than 3.0.11 and keep getting 'server not found' errors.
Never had this problem before so why now, I wonder?
So annoying I went back to 3.0.11 and no problems now.
BTW I never had trouble finding or downloading the older version.
I'll certainly go back to 3.5 when it's 'smoothed' out though.

Very happy with this forum and the link to 3.0.11. Just have 3.0.11 back and no more problems.

YES, totally the same problems.

To slow...and if we "kill a process"...it doesn't refresh the memory.

BUT worst that this is that...I had to use IE...I didn't use it for so long....

Bad work from firefox...

A question:
- Did microsoft purchase firefox?

Can anyone help me with the following problems with FF 3.5:
1. It will not start at my Home Page despite it being set to do so.It only opens to a blank page.All the needed address is included for the correct startup page.
2.The undo closed tab setting at the end of the tabs bar doesn't work. Neither does the Undo Closed Tab add-on.
3. If I open a number of tabs only the address of the first tab appears in the address box as I open each tab in order. It seems to have no memory of previous pages opened.
I have returned to FF 3.0.11 with none of these problems occuring.

Hi Trainman,
Had these problems too and looked at a forum for a solution.
The best one was probably the simplest.

Go into Control Panel, Registry etc. and delete EVERTHING to do with Mozilla and Firefox. Then reinstall FF 3.5

I did this and it cleared all the glitches I was having with sloooow speed and 'server not found' errors.
Don't know enough about 'puters to understand why but it worked.

FireFox hangs often, number of tabs does not matter. Especially on SOCCERNET.COM. Most of the time need to abort the session and restart FF. Regretfully, had to resort to using IE to access some sites.
Please advise.
