Only the quick launch toolbar. Well when 3.5 started, it had all my bookmarks and settings from the 3.0.10 thinstalled version. The quick launch icon did not get installed and 3.5 is not in add/remove programs. There you go. Cheers. Reproducible: Always

Reinstalled to (D: partition) D:\program files\..... and it worked fine. uninstalled. Reinstalled to C:\program files\..... and it installed fresh with no settings from 3.0.10 My thinstall .exe file is located on the desktop (C:\documents and settings\user\desktop) thank you.
Firefox 3.0.10 install in c:\program files\Mozilla Firefox\ while the beta should be installed in c:\program files}Mozilla Firefox 3.5 beta\ unless you change the installation folder. If you install F3.5beta in the same folder as 3.0.10 it will of course overwrite 3.0.10 but you have chosen to do that. You can not run both Firefox versions at the same time and you have to close all Firefox windows to open the other version. Where is the problem ?
Concur with Matthias, not a problem or bug IMO. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090612 Firefox/3.5
I too agree that it is not so much a bug. But this is the only place I can share my experience. What? Post a useless youtube video of what happened? Not. Thanks guys. And gals.
