You thought Firefox 3.1 Beta had problems? How about writing a post about Firefox 3.5? It makes my machine slow, it jams all the time, I get errors like "This is embarrassing " and so on. I can't even pass the ssl requirements for some sites that I was able to see before the update.

Interesting post. I have stumbled and twittered this for my friends. Hope others find it as interesting as I did.

Hi!
I did just what you said:

1. Open a new tab and type about:config in the address bar.
2. Right click anywhere in here and select Choose New>Boolean.
3. Make the name of your new config value extensions.checkCompatibility and set it to false.
4. Make another new boolean pair called extensions.checkUpdateSecurity and set the value to false.
5. Restart Firefox.

But the system didn't accept the boolean option and created a string one instead. So every time I run FF 3.1 it checks the extensions compatibility.
Could you please tell me if there is a way to avoid this?
How do I force a boolean option? Is it possible?
Many thanks for your answer!
Gabriela
