Firefox updated but Add-ons lagging behind
There are plenty of good reasons to upgrade to Firefox 3.5, better performance and security features being a couple. Sadly my update was greeted with a very long list of incompatible Add-ons.
This isn’t necessarily Mozilla’s fault and I’m sure that the Add-ons will be updated soon, but it’s not the best start. Maybe a delay of five minutes would have given a better first impression. Firefox 3.5 certainly loads all of my tabs much faster than 3 did. Impressively so.
Update: Undo Closed Tabs has already been updated.

I am still waiting for the addons to get updated before i update my firefox.

After the last Firefox upgrade, my HP printer would not work. After completely re-installing all of my HP software to no avail, I suddenly remembered that there had been an upgrade from HP some time before that used the browser to print. I now have to use IE8 if I want to print anything. Hope the add-on for HP on Firefox is out soon - I really don't like IE8, but am now forced to use it (and make it my default) if I want to use my printer. Not good.

Fortunately, my roster of Firefox plugins is very small, (just fire bug and a couple of others) which all had nice updates to accompany the upgrade, so I'm alright!

What's the latest state of play with all the major browsers. I mean is Safari better than Chrome better than Firefox better than IE etc etc??

Apart from an inexplicable problem where Firefox refused to allow me to type more than a few characters into web forms, I have not had any issues. But then again I use FF as designed; a lightweight browser.

I've also experienced problems since downloading the updates. My printer also does not seem to work when using firefox. I hope these updates are fixed soon. I almost wish I would have read this post sooner, and avoided the update altogether until the bugs got worked out.

I am also having some problems with my printer, but I can,t be sure it is due to the upgrade or not.
