Now THIS is the weirdest thing ever... well not really... not at all... but weird none the less...

My FireFox just stopped blocking ads... i have to manually go into options and check the box everytime i run it... anyone know how to make it on default like it normally is?

That's strange, won't know a real solution for it. What you could try is un-install your current Firefox, then get the latest one and install it again. Mozilla highly recommends to un--install first before upgrading in general, maybe you forgot to do that during your last upgrade?

i installed over the older version for all my upgrades :eek:

I was scared to lose my bookmarks etc... when i uninstall... when i go to control panel add/remove progs there are lots of versions of firefox.... can I safely take them all out and install the latest WITHOUT losing bookmarks/settings? (i have some really important websites bookmarked...)

Yes, you can. I succesfully updated 0.9.2 to 0.9.3 using that methode lately. You can even delete the whole Firefox folder afterwards, because settings are stored in a diffrend folder. C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla to be exactly. It might store some things in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Phoenix too, but i'm not sure, but i have that folder on my harddisk anyway. Back these folders up to make absolutely sure nothing can go wrong.

thats for the older versions of firebird and pheonix.

ahhhh.... the name changes....

I actually have that phoenix folder but never had firebird

Anyways thnx for the tip i'm gonna do it right now

sorry for the double post but i had to bump the topic...

Alright so that techinique worked and everything is the same.... everything BUT scrolling.... for some odd reason scrolling is a mess it goes up/down way too fast and too far... useless i might add... anyone know what could have gone wrong?

You could try to go to "Tools" > "Options" > "Advanced" and play around with smoothscrolling. Or maybe you had an extension installed that does something with scrolling (there are a few out there)? If so, check that extension's settings. If that doesn't help then un-install that extension, restart Firefox, install that extensions again, restart Firefox and try again.
