i just upgraded from 1.5 to 2.0 and all of my bookmarks are gone. if i import my ie favourites (i have none since i don't use IE) my old firefox 1.5 bookmarks re-appear, but there's still nothing on the bookmark toolbar that i had before. whne i right click on the toolbar no menu pops up. When i re-start firefox, all of the bookmarks disappear again.

anyone else have this problem?

my book marks are there but the windows media plugin and the searchbar plugin is messed, and to save a bookmark i have to repeatedly click the designated folder before i can save it.

My bookmarks are ok, but it keeps crashing on me :banghead:

It's a nice touch being able to return to the page you were at before the crash though :thumbsup:

Is anyone else having random freezes/crashes?

edit - I think the problems were caused by not uninstalling the old firefox and setting the new one as default. Seems to work ok now.

Worked fine for me. And I like the spellchecker. I just hate how the little X's on the tabs are actually on the tabs now, instead of over to the right. :nut:

I really like this software... even since the first release.

However, it still seems slower than IE and I also have a problem with my bookmarks, there all there...except I can't scroll down to the bottom of the list...weird bug.

I'm sure patches will be out soon, so Firefox :thumbsup:

i can't get the windows from officepools.com to open. Every time try to open a window it freezes up.

I had the same freezes when I installed it. What fixed it for me was I completely uninstalled Firefox and deleted the folder in Program Files. I then re-installed it without adding any plug -ins. Turns out it had corrupted the Macromedia flash player. I re-installed that and it is now working fine.

The only problem I've had is that ctrl+m doesn't work on firefox anymore. wtf

this bugged the hell out of me too..

Found the setting on the mozilla boards.

type in: about:config
in the address bar.

Go to "browser.tabs.closeButtons"

And set the value to 3. The default is 1.

Sorry I meant windows+m (minimize all windows).

Sometimes it works and sometimes one firefox window will always stay open. I can't figure it out.

I'm still using 1.5 and you can use your wheel click button on any tab to close it. I can't imagine this feature NOT being included with 2.0.
