D:

It is a well-known fact that those who feel called to use frequent
obscenities and/or profanities show a sorry lack of command of the
language. Why not investigate a ESL course?

Aside from that, though, the best way to get help and answers is by
stating specific problems and asking specific questions.

It so happens that Peter Potamus the Purple Hippo is one of the more
knowledgeable and helpful people on this group.

I'm sure that if you have a specific problem, and state it in a
half-decent way, Peter will be glad to help you.

Incidentally, I have used FF 3 from the beginning, and while some
things are a bit different from the previous release (if there would
be no difference, why come with a new release?), it works great for
me.

Cheers!! And have a great day!

Well I have an issue (several in fact) with Firefox and can write
something. Whenever I close Firefox it is still running. It doesn't
matter if I close the very normal way of clicking the X button at top
right or go to File-Exit.
* If I open Firefox again it will pop up a message that firefox is
till running and I will need to shut it down or restart the computer
befor running it again. I go to Task manager an lo and behold, there
is firefox running and I kill it. Then I can run it again.
* If I shut down the computer it pops up xpcom error and hangs. I go
to Task Manager and kill firefox.exe and the machine will shutdown
normally.

-- I'm running Firefox 3.0, with no addons on Windows XP machine,
fully updated. Just plain Firefox. I've tried to remove the profile
folder, but then it will not start and comes up with the familiar
message that Firefox is still running etc. even though it is NOT
running. So I restored the profile folder back.
-- I've uninstalled and installed again, but that didn't change
anything at all.

If you have solution that would be great. And just to be on the safe
side: I don't see it as solution to always go to Task manager and
kill the firefox process.

you're right, its not a solution, but its the only one.
This problem is usually cause by a by
addon/extension, or theme. It can also be cause by
listen to audio or viewing vids. It can also happen
when websites are using bad javascripts, java, or
flash. In otherwords, the devs of FF can't figure it
out. They're aware of it, but can't solve it. There
are basically two ways to fix this problem and neither
of them are good solutions. The first is by the task
manager. The other is to delete the file parent.lock
[or .parentlock, or something similar], which is kept
in the FF profile. When FF is running, then you will
see that file. When FF is closed, then you shouldn't
see it. But, when you close it and it hasn't shut down
properly, then you'll still see it.

The major problem that the developers have is with
people like me, I've never had that happen. So, if a
dev can reproduce it, then it becomes even more harder
to track down the problem. They've been working for a
solution since the 1.5 days.
