    I recently installed sp1 through Windows update and I have not had any problems outside of with Firefox. It will not start when I click on it but it will when I run it in safe mode. Does anyone know what might cause this. The add-ons I have are adblock plus, the digg extension, download manager tweak, firefox showcase, forcastfox extended, foxy tues, ie tab, pdf downloader, print preview, rreliby, stumbleupon, super drag and go, tab mix plus, tab scope, translator, update notifier, url fixer, and zotero. Has anyone had similar problems with any of these extensions?

    If i recall correctly, someone else was having this problem too. You have to re-install Firefox.

    Agreed. My FF worked after the upgrade. Honestly, IE7 works pretty darned good - I use it for quite a bit of my surfing.

    My FF works even better after SP1. IE7 is good too, it's mainstream so it will get hacked. The people don't always use the best browser, that's life. Another example.. We all use windows :)
