rawk!

Thanks for the F5 advice, ya'll!

Yeah... it's probably a combination of the browser's age, plus all the script-blocking protection I have it locked down with... :/

Sad though... it has been so fast and compatible and non-crashy and wonderful all these years, just makes me sad to be closer to putting it on the shelf for loss of usefulness...

byebye, lil' FireFox 2..... F.A. is responsible for putting the final nail in your coffin ... ;_;

Let me second the vote for FA Extender. It and Echofon are keeping me on firefox and not jumping to Chrome. :)

Really the security fixes should've bumped you off of Firefox 2 a long time ago, at least up to Firefox 3.6 (which is still getting security updates for a little while longer)
