uh guys, Firefox 5.0.1 just came out recently.

FF 5.0.1 is barely the same as 5.0 but includes bug fixes most notably for Mac OSX systems.

Mac OS X users who use Firefox should update to 5.0.1. Those using either Linux or Windows, FF 5.0.1 may not be worth it if FF 5.0 is already installed.

2 days later and my FF5 is still not updating to 5.0.1 (saying it's up-to-date in Help). I'm on Windows 7.

personally i left Firefox 5 and went to Firefox 7.0a2 (the Aurora channel) as it's MUCH better on memory use now.

because Firefox 4/5 typically eat more and more memory the longer they are left open with randomly loading and closing sites unlike Firefox 7 which does not and seems to eventually level off around 200MB which is far better than Firefox4/5 which would slowly but surely keep going higher and higher the longer it was in use.

so now that the RAM issues are much better now Firefox is back to where it should have been.

you can download Firefox 7.0a2 from here... http://goo.gl/Dprxg (it's the Aurora one)

p.s. i been using it for about 24 hours now and i am not going back to Firefox 5 to say the least. (i also have around 4 extensions i use and had to force Firefox 7 to use them as 3 of them got disabled once i switched to Firefox 7 but you can force the extensions to work by doing this... http://goo.gl/r6G02 , but instead of where it has "extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0" put "extensions.checkCompatibility.7.0a".

      I recommend checking to see if your UEFI/Bios is up to date.  It took me a while to find the product / support download page. https://test.colorful.cn/en/home/product?mid=84&id=937 Bios Update Guide - https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/BIOS update guide/BIOS update guide.pdf Links broken       
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By +seb5150 · Posted

      Calendar management with the new Outlook is horrendous! Things I can do in one or two clicks in classic take 4-5 in the new version. Sometimes I can't even find the same options I had in classic.

In there, open the Subscriptions tab. The Free Play Days collection will show up in this area. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 7, at 11:59 pm PT.
