Toonraider 0 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) No I'm not risking it, I had trouble with the previous one! Now I'm using the FF edition that Craig recommended...(can't remember the number ffs ) And its brilliant, our PC is running much smoother.

Now I'm using the FF edition that Craig recommended...(can't remember the number ffs ) And its brilliant, our PC is running much smoother. I've gone to v5 and AA is right - it pisses all over v4. Little tip - Mozilla are absolutely dogshit at compiling upgrade packages. Best way to upgrade to the latest version is to completely remove the previous one: 1. Backup you bookmarks - go to Bookmarks > Show All Backups > Import & Backup > Backup - should save the file locally as a *.json file 2. Uninstall current Firefox version using 'Add & Remove Programs' 3. Click 'Start' & 'Run' and in the dialog box type '%userprofile%\Application Data' and click OK. In the explorer window that appears, highlight the Mozilla folder and delete it. 4. Click 'Start' & 'Run' and in the dialog box type '%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data' and click OK. In the explorer window that appears, highlight the Mozilla folder and delete it. 5. Install the new version of Firefox 6. Import your bookmarks - go to Bookmarks > Show All Backups > Import & Backup > Restore - find the *.json file you saved previously Job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these dickheads can't work out how to do a basic upgrade, and it causes their software to run shit, then they don't deserve to get me switching from Chrome.

khay 10 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I recently jumped to Chrome and I'm not going back Quoted for truth. Re-imaged my mum's laptop a couple of months back and set her up with chrome as the default browser and she is working fine. That's just a note for the older posters who seem to have trouble moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
