After uploading the latest Firefox tried to use it, contained a message saying a link (http form) needed a program to run it. Clicked Firefox and it started opening numerous windows with numerous tabs. Before clicking to use Firefox, original window blank, would not work at all.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Same problem

Expected Results:  
Would be nice if it worked as well as version 3.5

Might want to make it easier finding older versions of Firefox for those of us who have to retract from the latest **** upgrade. The original Beta worked on my computer, so I don't know what went wrong with your full version.
