1 edit |  55 bugs in new Firefox 3.5: users are posting complaints
Those problems include longer load times and crashes linked to the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine. The browser also reportedly has problems with Windows XP. Mozilla has set a community "BugDay" for July 7 to address the bugs in open-source Firefox 3.5.
Firefox 3.5.1 is expected to be released later this month to correct some of the 55 published bugs

You didn't quote the post and this is a long thread so I don't want to look for it but if you are referring to Mozilla's web help site, it is very strangely organized but you can ask a question, search the knowledge base, etc. I get irritated there because they want you to list every extension in any question post. Plus, they want it to be more or less one on one question which I also don't care for much. I have had a few questions satisfactorily answered there but not quickly and usually the answerers are people I know who are regulars at Mozillazine forums. Why Mozilla didn't adopt Mozillazine as their official help I don't know and I think it was a bad decision.

The open source browser maker also confirmed it would be bringing out version 3.5.1 soon to squash bugs its development team hadn’t managed to eradicate ahead of the launch.

| Re: 55 bugs in new Firefox 3.5: users are posting complaints said by DownTheShore :Any new release of any browser is going to have a bunch of bugs - it's the nature of the beast. Even though I'm primarily an IE user, I have no doubt that the FF folks will get the bugs fixed much more quickly than the IE people would have in the same situation, since FF ALWAYS fixes their problems faster. This whole thread is a non-issue, IMO  First of all, this isn't a "new" browser.
Second, I haven't seen ANY of the bugs that I've read about, not a single one.
Third, I haven't seen longer load times.. it loads quicker than 3.0.10 did for me.
3.0.8 through 3.0.10 had tons of bugs that I encountered. I'm just happy that those are gone. | |

It obviously already fixed and hardly 'forever'.

3 edits | I've been running FireFox for years now, but I notice some issue with the newest upgrade.
Sometimes if I maximize FireFox after running in the background, and if try to visit any website, it won't load any webpage in any tab. The status bar won't show anything. The FireFox animated icon in the tab will spin forever. Nothing else happens, like actually loading the webpage I requested.
If open a new tab and go to a common website like Yahoo or Google, it does the same thing (no status bar information, the FireFox animated icon in the tab will spin forever - no webpage loads).
If I close FireFox and restart it, then it works again for X hours before it repeats itself. I did not have this issue with previous FireFox releases.
Not sure if that is a "crash" or not, but it might as well be if the browser doesn't work properly unless it's restarted. Only plugins I'm using is 1-Click Weather, NoScript and Adblock Plus.
Other issue I noticed in the newest FireFox, atleast on my machine, eats more resources than normal (even more than previous FireFox versions). I used to be able to leave FireFox minimized in the background overnight, now I can't leave it for a few hours before I notice a performance issue (or the issue described above). My computer is a 3.0GhZ Pentium 4 with 2GB of memory. | |

1 edit | Re: 55 bugs in new Firefox 3.5: users are posting complaints I observed an interesting phenomenon with Firefox 3.5 wherein I had opened a site with lots of photos that belongs to a guy I know from a forum that we both use. Anyway, the site is fine with IE, but with Firefox 3.5, I found that the audio background music did not play and when I clicked on a small photo to enlarge it, it first opened in a tab, but then without warning, that switched to a new window. That's not a killer, but it is something that doesn't happen with IE, and the site plays properly with IEtab in Firefox 3.5. I'm not sure it's worth reporting, especially if there are 55 bugs already in the queue.
Oh, yes, as Gixxer says, it is slow to startup, but everything gets slower over the years when you are using an old computer like mine from 2002. I've only got 512MB of RAM and that's after I upgraded from 256 a few years back.
Added: I went back to the same website and the images page and this time I saw why I was not getting Audio. NoScript was blocking the audio object. So, it was not a bug in Firefox. Also, the tab did not switch to a new window this time, so I have no idea what happened previously. It is a fact that a tab can be opened in a new window, so maybe something happened the other day that caused that, but I don't think there is any Firefox bug here for that, either. Therefore, I was prudent in not bothering to report this at Bugzilla. There's nothing to report.

I get the annoying spinning animated icon (Vista SP1) and hanging of the browser ( Firefox 3.5 install over 3.1x) when my McAfee Anti-virus does it updates. When the update is done, the browser goes back to normal.
I might add that Windows does not hang when this occurs and the same problem happened using Firefox 3.1x. with the same extensions
I believe this is a memory issue with bloated Microsoft Vista , not with Firefox.
