Mozilla Firefox (official thread)

I've changed this thread title to Firefox 4.x/5.x

I don't know why in the world they put out the latest version as 5.0 rather than 4.x - nothing about it screams "major release" to me. Anyway, it's been up and running for me since it was released with no hitches.

BTW - has anybody found a "Copy As Plain Text" extension for the new version? That's the one thing I'm still truly missing from 3.x.

They're increasing the release cycle to something like three months to keep up with Chrome. There might be a new version every three months.

Here's the copy add-on I'm using on 5.0.

Just installed Adobe X as I need it for working with PDFs at work.

Ever since then, Firefox has been running ridiculously slow, temporarily not responding, especially when trying to use a site like YouTube which obviously uses Adobe Flash.

Should I just disable the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.3.23 add-on?

I'm not saying what happened to me is happening to you..but 2 weeks ago I started having the same problem...here is some info...

Apparently, the malware that does this is exploiting a Flash vulnerability, therefore if you have Adobe Flash in your browser and it is not updated to the latest version, you could be infected by just visiting a wrong web page. I have User Account Control (UAC) enabled on my Windows 7 computer, but it didn?t prevent the infection.

I spent yesterday fixing the mess it caused. I would suggest downloading Malwarebytes and running it in safe mode offline. I would check and see if you still have a windows firewall in your services as it completely erased mine.

Scroll bar disappears

Scroll bar Question

I have just migrated from Windows XP to Windows 7 and I use Firefox as my default browser. When I go to my Cleveland Browns website
http://cle.scout.com/
everything is fine and I have a scrollbar but when I click on forums and go to the following forum
http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=149&f=1547
I have no scroll bar on the right-hand side.

Now please remember that I used voice-activated software so I cannot hit the page down key plus it would be a pain in the butt.

If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. The scroll bar does show up in Internet Explorer. Thanks!
