I can't recommend this update at all.

First off there's so little content for this at the present time you'll probably never need it and by the time you do Firefox will have fully implemented it.

Secondly, ever since I installed it Firefox (v 3.6.13) thinks I'm quitting the program and puts up a "Save & Quit", etc prompt window whenever I close pop-up windows (vid players, etc). It seems to have created a bug in the very functionality it tries to facilitate.

Fuck you Microsoft...all you've done (purposefully, no doubt) is introduce bullshit into your competitor's browser.

I uninstalled it and the problem I outlined above is gone.

Like I said....I wouldn't doubt for one second that Microsoft did this on purpose. :shrug:
