I have just given up on firefox and installed Opera. CarolC, I have been having the same problems you noted,same version, but I don't have any IEtab thingie, so not sure if it's the same cause. I spent an hour on the phone with DellTech this morning and he got rid of two things which were still trying to run on startup, even though I'd gotten rid of the programs, or something according to the young, fast-talking, mealy-mouthed whippersnapper who worked on it.:-) So, it ran better after he did his thing, then Firefox started acting up, again. I tried out IE, no problem. Opera, no problem, so I know it has to be something to do with Firefox. (I miss the auto spellcheck among other things.)

So, anyone have any ideas and/or tried the beta version? I like opera but i miss firefox already.

Thanks
