Packed with awesome new features like:

The forward button is now hidden until you navigate back

Most add-ons are now compatible with new versions of Firefox by default

Anti-Aliasing for WebGL is now implemented (see bug 615976)

CSS3 3D-Transforms are now supported (see bug 505115)

Woot! So much awesome all in one update. In fact, so much awesome I think they should increment by 5 instead of 1. The next version should be 15. Firefox version 100 here we come!

Sadly I had to give up on Firefox. I've been using Chrome 100% of the time for the last month.
For some dang reason since Firefox 7, Flash is crashing A LOT! This happens on all my computers I have Firefox on. And I couldn't figure out why.
I do miss Firefox because it's add-ons are so much better. But Chrome almost never has any crashes for me.

I've never had any issues with Flash in Firefox. There could have been a crash or two, but nothing I remember.

Silverlight however crashes all the time. I figure MS built it that way on purpose to try to get FF people to switch to IE - /puts on tinfoil hat whistling

My forward button isn't hidden. It's greyed out. But as far as I remember, that's the way the previous version worked.

I'm gonna have to confirm what Jarom says - zero problem with Flash in Firefox here. No problems with Silverlight either though...

I spent weeks trying to figure out the crashing problem. Deleted my profile, removed all add-ons, reinstalled Flash, still had problems across multiple computers.

I'm just at a complete loss as to the issue. I don't think it's wide spread, because my Firefox crashes or freezes up 2 or 3 times a day and there is no way that would be allowed to be a common issue. Maybe my Sync profile is messed up. Sync is such a pain in the ass, so and if it's also causing my crashes, then I'm probably ready to move on from Firefox anyway.

I use "Nightly" on this laptop, which is the nightly build of Firefox "pre-Alpha". So I've had that auto-hiding forward button for ages! NOOBSS!!!!11

Weird. FF just finished updating on my home computer. The forward button is hidden. Wonder why it's not hidden on my work computer.

My home computer is 32 bit XP. My work computer is 64 bit Win7. Not that that should matter.

Different themes? I know I use an older style theme(FF2 style) and I don't have the hidden forward button.

I actually have the opposite problem - Flash crashes Chrome constantly for me. I had to switch back to Firefox just to browse the web.

I haven't installed any themes. Just checked my work computer, I'm using the default theme.

I did get it to work though. I customized my tool bar, removed the forward/backward button, then put it back. It's auto-hiding the forward button now.

Haha. Yeah, I actually do hear this more often, that Chrome crashes Flash more than Firefox. Weird I'm having the opposite problem. happy
