Swear it done it automatically for me. It came up with some message which i said later to. The when i closed all of ff and restarted a while later it went to the updated page

. Ah well don't think any extensions were affected and i would have updated anyway.

anyone else had problems since the update? i had a coupla instances of FF freezing on me in last coupla days, only way of getting out once it freezes is to click the X, but even then I have to go into task manager and kill the process afterwards

edit: ffs it's just died on me twice in quick succession (the second time it just shut itself down and brought up the user agent thing), i'm now posting from Opera, which I happened to notice coz i still had task manager open, uses only a third of the memory that FF uses

Actually i just found mine doesn't like copy and paste into forms. E.g. copy text from this posting form then post it in the google search form

. Quite annoying

(ok coping from this form worked

)

I got it, since the last update is anyone having problems with highlighting things then using ctrl+c and ctrl+v? Well i am

Sometimes it works other times it doesn't and i have to click it thousands of time for it to work

Has anyone had the problem where they try to type into forums but firefox just puts the text into a search box and you can't get out of it (have to restart ff). Well ff keeps doing it now
