Hey, Firefox fans!
Go HERE to get more cool themes and extensions which are not listed on the "official" Firefox site. Click the arrow to the right of "Forum Jump" in the "Navigation" box on the left side of the screen to find Firefox extensions and themes.

I have downloaded several themes, all of which work with 1.0. Right now I am using the "iCandy Junior" theme, which i believe is not listed on the "official" Firefox site.

Sorry if this has been posted already.

15. Wondering if its my preview edition. If I do reload a new version, do you
think its easy to import my bookmarks, extensins and my custom-enlarged bookmark toolbar?

18. If you install on top of the previous version..
.. it shouldn't do anything to your existing bookmarks etc. In fact, it even updated my Extensions & Themes (those of them that required updating).

7. I'm probably the only one
But I hated Firefox. It doesn't load many of the sites I frequent, it saves pages in a horrible format, and I can't put shortcuts on my desktop that actually work.

10. sounds like something was not set correctly
Have you tried Avant Browser?

http://www.avantbrowser.com/

It's tabbed browseing, free, blocks popups and you can turn Flash off to thwart those annoying ads.

13. You could also try full-blown Mozilla.
http://www.mozilla.org

I've been using it for years - it's like the "older brother" of Firefox.

14. Thanks to both of you! Maybe someday I'll try them out
It took me long enough to get my old IE working right again that I doubt I'll do at anytime soon, but thanks for the suggestions!
