And it seems to have fixed a lot of the memory leak.  Biggest problem is that half of my addons don't work.  Version 6 is the latest production version - came out in the last couple of days.

I actually want to switch to Chrome, but I really love NoScript.

When they first announced this was their plan, a new release every couple months, it was obvious the browser was going to be crap from then-on. It's a version war with Chrome and IE. When it finally catches up and passes by a few versions, they are going to cut it back, guaranteed. I'm staying with 3.6, as it doesn't have the damn f-ups the newer versions have (compatibility problems galore), and all my extensions don't have to be updated every other day. If Chrome didn't restrict the user installation directory and install a few other in-the-background services, I wouldn't mind making the switch. May have to try Opera or even, IE9 for that matter. The new FF is dead to me, and I've been with the browser since Netscape 3. Mozilla is definitely managed by an idiot.

So by time version 9 rolls around, there'll be a nice library to spoof user approval by updating the firefox config files using the same method that firefox does..  That'll be nice to have all my unwanted addons back.

Glad to see others feel the same way. Sorry Mozilla. Your 'crown' as king of the browsers has just passed to Opera in 'my kingdom', since Chrome doesn't have a Master Password (how stupid is that?). I doubt I'll even try FF8 when it releases. They stopped taking the time to debug when version 4 released.

FireFox is officially trash to me. I've used it on more than five computers and it always freezes (without extensions or add-ons). It always launches like a snail. The same results occur regardless of how monstrous hardware is. It is a pain in a butt and quite frankly I gave it enough chances.

Hold on a second... isn't the current stable only version 5? And my OpenSuSE computer still has 4.0 beta 12 or something like that. (It's the latest in the official repos.)
