I have 3.5.2 installed on a PC running XP, and, when it works, it works
fine. But every so often it just stops and sits there with an
"hourglass" icon for a minute or more. I can do other things on the PC,
and there don't appear to be any other processes running that would
cause a delay in the system. Very frustrating. But I have another
unrelated(?) problem: I have tried every suggestion in the various help
forums, but I cannot assign a application to file type - every time that
want to open, for instance, a .wmv file, it asks what application I want
to use. I find the application, click on the box marked "use this
application every time", and it still asks the next time. I also cannot
change the settings to open a new tab automatically when click on a URL
in another application (i.e. mail). It just opens the URL in whatever
tab is open at the time. (Yes, I have gone to the "tools" menu and made
all the changes, but they have been ignored - it is as if the ability to
change the various options have all been locked out.) I am afraid that
my only choice may be to uninstall Firefox and start all over from
scratch, but I don't want to loose my bookmarks.

It's crashing every time it's opened on my machines. Vista Home and
XP machines.
My son said he's been having a lot of problems since upgrading it on his
pc and his search of user groups indicates that many people are having
similar issues. I"m on a Mac and haven't upgraded it yet,. I have
enough problems from upgrading iTunes and the security update from a few
months ago.
