You're adding cableforum.co.uk to your whitelist though, right?

You could drag the "Bookmark Toolbar" to the addon bar at the bottom I guess

It's running alright at the moment, it's fast and I'm having fun installing and uninstalling add-ons.

I just hope the speed and enjoyment lasts. All in all, I give it a 8/10, I'd have given it 9/10 if more of the add-ons were compatable, there are too many that aren't.

Here are a few I find useful...

Cool Previews
Apture Highlights
Feedly Reader
Search Preview
Tab Scope

In the Options dialog, select the Advanced panel. Then open the General tab for the setting to turn off hardware acceleration.

Thanks for that. Turning the hardware acceleration off worked.

Possibly updating graphics card drivers to the latest and turning it back on may help.

I've done that and no difference.

Stupid question, but would me downloading the 64 bit version for Windows 7 of the card driver make any difference to the 32 bit FF?

I ask this, because I installed the 64 bit version of Java, but FF thought that wasn't installed. I was wondering if it was the same problem.

If you're on Windows 32bit then you should only be installing 32bit software and drivers.

p.s your problem is a known bug i think it is Nvidia it is seen with and hopefully they will fix it eventually when they work it out. You can only get hardware acceleration with Windows 7 and Vista SP2.

I was just checking. My pc is 64bit.

Thanks again

Windows needs to be 64bit

I thought that I had the answer here, but there wasn't much difference.

Wait and see

Who do they think they are? Google

Firefox 4 Beta 11 is now out.

Any idea when they might put out a RC?
