I would like adblock as well - last time I downloaded it from Paul Phiilps blog but I am assume there is a more up to date version available now. Any advice.

Don't particularly want the latest beta version of the Browser - and would like an add on or two so if somebody has downloaded it recently they might have an alternative safe source - thus making my question valid.

I think you misread my post. The link I gave was to the official site. Title: Re: Makeing Firefox The Default Web Browser?

You should just be able to update everything from within firefox itself: Help > Check for Updates. This will also update you extensions for you. If you don't have this option then you have a quite old version of FF, just download the latest version from the mozilla site. If you want to update extensions seperately then you can: Tools > Extensions > Find updates Title: Re: Makeing Firefox The Default Web Browser? Post by: mex on October 15, 2006, 07:38:55 PM Just wondering why i would want firefox? i keep meaning to switch to it?
Will it give problems? More important what are the advantages, sorry to hijack!!! Title: Re: Makeing Firefox The Default Web Browser? Post by: Jim-D on October 15, 2006, 07:41:07 PM Not sure of any technical advantages but i found it alot faster and smoother than IE, and thank god i never use aol to browse any longer.
