16. Is FireFox (3.6) a lot different then FireFox (3.5) ?

- Yes there are some extra customizing options now. But I still don’t see an oh my G-d what a shocking difference. So no worries there will be a pretty smooth transition between 3.5 and 3.6. (Just check to see if your add-on are compatible with 3.6)

17. Are there any issues I should know about FireFox 3.6 ?

- Nope.

21C. Do you recommend AVG Security Toolbar ?

- Nope.

21D. Do you recommend any type of program like Site Adviser paid or free ?

- No, generally site advisor’s tend to  slow down your Internet browser. They can however be helpful on a very basic level for newbie Internet users and can flag sites that are real danger. But there are way to many false positive in my tests to say I would recommend anyone….

22. Can you use, Window’s Update Agent ?

Yes, now you can some people have reported errors thou

Overall rating 4 out of 5 – There are still some slow down and crashing issues. There are still a lot of add-ons that are not compatible with 3.6 yet……Such as Google gears……
