TBH I don't think most people have been having these sorts of issues, Saxo. It's important, though, to uninstall a version before installing a new one, and to delete the Firefox directory in Program Files, too.

However, 1.5 now upgrades incrementally, so you don't have to worry about that any more. But it is important to have started off with a clean installation in the first place.

It's probably a good idea to be selective about the extensions you install, as well. Read up on what they do and bear in mind that some extensions can produce conflicts with others.

Edit: I notice you're using Fasterfox. I don't use it myself, but I believe it changes your configuration, primarily to increase your speed. I have seen it implicated with messing up people's FF installations, though. Is it possible that changes you've made with it are responsible for the problems you're having?
