Installed 3.5.2 last night and am having a very frustrating error. I am unable to close any Firefox windows. Clicking the red button does nothing. This is especially frustrating when you end up with a bunch of different windows open and can only get rid of them by shutting the program down. Other than that, everything works great.

Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

I am not a huge fan of Safari is the main reason I don't use it.

And I normally don't close it. It's only really annoying when I have multiple windows opened and can't close the extraneous ones when I am done with them.

I have uninstalled it and reinstalled multiple times, no go. Thinking I might have to appzap the old install and do it super clean. Kind of a pain.

I was going to post about a FF issue with my mac but didn't feel it deserved it's own thread. But since one is created here it is.

I notice weird slowdowns when any of my add-ons needs updating. Like when I am watching a youtube video it hangs or doesn't allow me to actually start the clip. Then sure enough when I manually close FF and restart it a add-on updates and all is back to normal. I first thought it was because I had downloadhelper as a addon, but it still continues even after I uninstalled it. Anyone out there experiencing similar issues?

yeah just go into your system library and user library folders and delete all the firefox stuff

or just use appzapper

then try again

i'm assuming you're running 10.5.8?
