greetings,

i have 2 install of sl 5.4.

in this version i updated firefox from 3.0.19 to 3.6.9, which has been
nothing but problems.

in other install of 5.4, i did not allow update.

firefox runs starts slower, will not open a url when *all* kde settings
show firefox as default browser.

sites take longer to load.

in closing firefox;

1] with either 'X' in upper right, 'file > quit' or <ctrl+q>,
   i get a window telling me that 'fuelApplications' script is
   still running.

2] _sometimes_, maybe 20%, selecting 'continue' will close firefox
   without locking desktop.

3] selecting 'ignore' / 'close anyway', what ever it is called,
   will not.

4] using <ctrl+alt+esc> will close firefox

with either of above failures 1, 3, or via 4, when firefox is reopen,
i get the da window 'this is embarrassing'.

what should be embarrassing, i that authors screwed up as they did.

i know and understand security reasons for updating to 3.1.9, but with
all of problems with 3.1.9, i would rather take my chances with 3.0.19.

because i still have 3.0.19 in other install, can i simple delete
'/usr/bin/firefox' and '/usr/lib/firefox-3.1.9/*' and then copy over
old '/usr/bin/firefox' and '/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.*/*' files?

tia.
