O.P. FireFox doesn't stop pop-ups!!!
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.

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.
