Yes, but I've noticed the return of some bugs that plagued me with
previous versions of Firefox that had been fixed by the update to WE
7.11. A bug with Wikipediaa that makes typing in the search box
difficult has returned for me, if one takes more than a few seconds
to type the search terms one is knocked back into browse mode and
returned to the top of the page. Also if one makes a typo and
backspaces or trys to type in any kind of punctuation or characters
the same thing happens. Also, most webpages that had previously
allowed me to start reading quickly now have returned to loading
slower and returning me to the top of the page multiple times after I
have started to read content or to type in an edit field. Amazon is
a major culprit as is Fox News, CNN, Reuters, TMZ, Gizmodo, Cnet,
Blu-ray.com and thedigitalbits.com. Sometimes, even after giving the
page a good while to finish loading, the first attempt to navigate
down the page and read content or do anything else for that matter
will trigger one more loading and jump back to the top of the page.
Also, a problem that had previously been fixed with the 7.11 upgrade
where clicking on links like 'skip to content' or other links meant
to move the focus to a point further down on the same page either
would not work at all or would jump focus to the bottom of the page
has returned. The aforementioned thedigitalbits.com posts links on
the second table on the page that will allow readers to jump to the
daily article for a particular date, and now clicking on one of those
links will either jump back to the top of the page or to the bottom
of the page. The only way to find the current daily post is to work
one's way to it via page up or down or finding close visited links.
Since they usually keep a month or so worth of posts on the main
page, this can get really tedious as the month progresses.
I don't know why these issues have returned, but they returned with
the update to Firefox 3.6, so either something odd happened in my
update or something got broken that GW Micro had fixed with WE 7.11.
Or else I am missing something completely, which I would not rule out.
Anyway, other than those issues, I've found 3.6 to work faster in all
other respects than the aforementioned loading issue with certain
pages and after about two days of odd frequent crashes, it has
actually been more stable than 3.5.

Hi good people!
Will WE 7.1 work with Firefox 3.6? If not, what is the latest
version of Firefox I can run effectively with WE 7.1?
Thank you!
