I run an older version of xp, i don't allow microsoft auto updates to windozes. youtube is telling me they will no longer support my browser after march. Anybody using firefox 3.6 and how's it doing? I tried mozilla a few years ago and had a lot of trouble with it.

Why don't you do the windoze updates? Fear of the WGA balloon popping up? There's a fix for that if that is the reason.

Bob, what's the WGA balloon?

I think mine is IE 7. Shoot, might be 3 or 5 for all I know! :?:

I used Firefox for many years and then on a whim I decided to try out Google Chrome. Once in awhile I'll find something that I can't do on here and I'll open a Firefox window and it seems sooooo slow compared to Google Chrome. And IE won't even open on my computer anymore without freezing.

I have used Fire Fox for quite a while and have had no problems. Sounds like I may have to try the Google Chrome though!

I been using Fire fox for quite a few years now. The only problem now is with this version I can't save youtube videos and the "click on 'mail to' links" do not work even with the internet fixes from Mozilla.

FireFox user here. I tried Chrome for a month or so and never liked it as much as FireFox.
