My problems turned out to be related to the SwitchProxy Tool 1.4.1 add-on. Based on the comments at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/125, it looks like this add-on is not compatible with 3.5.5 With the SwitchProxy add-on disabled, firefox is working for me again. Others experiencing problems after the 3.5.5 upgrade should try disabling add-ons. Ref: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_%28Firefox%29 Andy, thanks for the reply.

With the SwitchProxy add-on disabled, firefox is working for me again.

After I type in a URL, hitting enter has no effect (i.e. pages don't load) Restarting gives me a "well this is embarrassing page." Some of the windows I'd previously had open did not come back. Clicking on "options" brings up an empty dialog. etc., etc. I'm not sure what I've done to tickle these problems, but until it's resolved I recommend avoiding the 3.5.5 upgrade The 3.5.5 upgrade also eradicated my home page.

When i typed something in the search form i got a warning message that the connection isn't secure and when i clicked send anyway nothing happened. Does anybody have an idea on what could have caused that? I had some weird problems with it.
