Note for anyone who has not yet upgraded their Firefox

Just a FYI, the new Firefox sucks. It may be a new and improved system overall, but if all you want to do is use the web as you wanted to before you upgraded, accessing the same webpages, and using your same blogging tools and chat utilities, you may prefer to not upgrade just yet. Or at least make sure you set up your computer so you can backtrack to your old set-up if Firefox is as bad for you as it has been so far for me. I wouldn't advocate Internet Explorer either, actually. My attempt at installing IE 7 stalled out and left me with just the software removal and download blocker from that package, and sure enough, it won't let me install anything I download since then. Old Firefox was great, and the new one will be ok eventually, but so long as it has major issues with opening Gmail, Blogger sites, and practically everything else more complicated than pure html, don't bother with it just yet.
