Grandmaster said:I haven't been impressed with 1.5 at all. Constant crashes, and for some reason it occassionally likes to eat up 50%+ of the CPU and like 200 MB of RAM :S
Add to that the fact that two of my favorite extentions don't work and I want to revert back to the last version. Is it possible to do that without losing any of my bookmarks and settings? What would be the easiest way to go about doing that?
I would check to see if nothing got corrupted when ya did the update. Also the one thing that will get Firefox to eat soooo much CPU and Mem is Java. Some sites will have malicious java shiit and will try to load it, causing the browser to slow to a crawl eat CPU/Mem and or crash. Do a virus scan of yer Java folder in yer root drive (C drive or where ever you have windows installed on) I had this happen to me on a few occasions. I also had to uninstall Firefox and then install an older version to clean up a corrupt install. I just went into add/remove programs and uninstalled it. I then reinstalled it and all my bookmarks and profile stuff was still there. You may want to export your bookmarks and backup any profiles first before you try... just in case it doesn't save anything. So if the browser comes out blank then you can import yer stuff.
Oh... which two extensions are not working?
