    FireFox Thread Problems>Members read this, if your having issues
    Ok, I got mine working fine now. Here is what I did:

    Closed out all tabs in Firefox before closing browser.
    Deleted all shortcuts associated with Firefox.
    Opened up Windows Explorer, clicked on C:, Programs, and went into the Mozilla FireFox folder.
    Opened up Firefox from there, and it came up with a stored session from a few days back that I thought was cleared.

    So the whole idea is to try and get rid of any previous stored sessions, and get Firefox to open up clean an fresh. I don't know about most of you, but I usually keep sessions for months on end so I don't have to keep opening up tabs and going to the same pages everyday. Don't ask me why a session from a few days back came up when I went into the program folder and opened up Firefox. Maybe the upgrade had something to do with it and didn't overwrite some of the files. Don't know, but now my Firefox is opening up all forum threads, for now.

      FireFox has consistently gone down hill. Make the switch to Chrome, much faster!

            I recently switched to Chrome and I did notice a big difference in speed. One thing that really bothers me though is when I scroll down a page, click on a link, then go back to the page I had already scrolled down on it doesn't always take me to the part I scrolled down to, sometimes it just loads at the top of the page.

              No offense, but why in the world would you be using Internet Explorer?

                i dont know... it's just the default most people use i guess. i dont know the other options and all my favorite pages are bookmarked in IE. firefox is alright but i can't get to my bookmarked pages. and chrome i hear takes way too much memory for me to run and i'm already havng memory problems.

                  You can import bookmarks to FF from IE.

                    I use IE. I have been seeing problems lately, but I had to do a system boot on my PC, lost all pics & everything.

                    Now this site is the only one I notice the problem on, everything is a little blurrier. What I mean is everyones avatars are more pixilated & there's some other differences. Is there something I need to do with my graphics now? Im not real computer savvy if anyone could help. Also used to I could set this site to 125% but now when I do everything is scrambled up. 100% is way too small & I have excellent vision. Also my fonts are different

                        Thanks OL. Firefox has been annoying me lately, when I close out a session sometimes when I reload FF instead of asking me if I want to restore all my previous pages they open automatically and I need to shut it down again. Using latest version.

                          anyone know what app or extension i need to give each bookmark in my list the little icon symbol beside it to help identify it in my drop-down bookmark links.

                          just got a new laptop and have DL'd firefox and have been adding bookmarks(links), but unlike my desktop that shows little icons beside each individual bookmark in the drop-down list, my laptop just has little symbols that look like a piece of paper with the corner folded.

                              No problems with Firefox, Chrome is overrated and not user friendly on many web pages.
