So I was offline for an age and updated to Win 7 and then installed Firefox... problem is Firefox seems to take an age to connect to a site and then often errors off.... soon as I press retry it loads the site straight away... it's also really slow at loading images from sites...
anyone else had this problem?
running firefox 3.6.3 and Windows Home Premium

Re: Firefox and Win 7
First off Dan, welcome back to the online world. Yaay! 
You'll have to tell me next weekend the whole story of being offline...
Having used Windows 7 on some work machines with Firefox, I didn't notice any of the slowdowns that you've mentioned. Mind you, I had the 32-bit version of Windows 7, and if your version is the 64-bit one, Firefox may not perform so well as there's no native 64-bit coded version yet.
I have found version 3.5 to be more stable than 3.6 for various reasons, and so try 3.5.9 here:

Let us know how you get on.
