    Problems with Firefox 4

    Has anyone experienced problems with 4. Walmart Music Downloader says I need to install version 2 or later, so it isn't recognizing version 4. Also Hotmail will not save my IDs. I have to retype everytime. Have been with Firefox support over an hour to no avail. My last question to them was how do I convert back to version 3 without losing my Speed Dial connections but they did not answer. Anyone know how? Thanks.

    Here's a link to the older version if you want it, as for how to deal with keeping Speed Dial connections, I wouldn't have a clue, especially when that's an add-on, and not even a supported feature.
    pacman -Syyu life not found in sync db

    Went back to 3.6.16 and everything is working well. When uninstalling version 4 when it asks if you want to delete personal settings I chose no and Speed Dial wasn't deleted.

    I agree with that NOKNOT! When I installed Windows 7 on my PC, I kept XP installed also, just in case!

    I just tried logging in to my hotmail and making sure that "Remember me" is checked.
    Then I log out and then open hotmail again.
    My hotmail ID is saved and clicking on it prompts for password.

    Try running Firefox 4 without any plugins and also try clearing cache and cookies.

    Thanks Raymond, tried the cleaning cache and cookies yesterday but no change. As soon as I went back to version 3.6 everything worked great. Firefox is coming out with updates for version 4 so I think Ill wait around until all the bugs are worked out.
