Comments on: Firefox 1.5 really dropped the ball http://blog.xcski.com/2005/12/21/firefox-15-really-dropped-the-ball Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.

In my case, it just refuses to pull up sites at all -- no errors or warnings, but no sites either.. After I uninstall/reinstall and nuke ALL of my settings it will work for a while and then start over again.. However, on the PC it works fine.. Go figure.

I had problems with Java and Flash until I noticed that the version of AdBlock I had was not the latest and manually upgraded it. There were a couple of other extensions that I had to manually upgrade as well. After I did that, everything was fine.
