The other day, I saw a FF3 popup to upgrade on the right of the screen. It
disappeared b4 I could hit it.

Against my normal rules, since I couldn't find an 'update now' button anywhere,
I turned it over to AUTOMATIC updates. Since then I went back to announceafter
it loaded and told me it'd updated.

So something in that update has turned FF3 brain dead.
I quit after every session. Next time I fire it up, it wants a report about the
previous crash [that didn't happen].. It's been about 4-5 times now asking to
report the crash info.

The update doesn't seem to have affected anything I use normally with FF,just
asking me what caused it to crash every time it fires up.

I believe when you get an update notice from some company, they check the
status of the 'auto update' and if it's set to automatically do it, it sends
out trash it knows to screw things up.

I learned that the hard way from windows auto update and the video update.
And Trend's auto update. Worst update ever. turned the machine into a 300baud
doorstop.

Well millions of other users don't have that problem. So lets take a
look at your specific situation shall we?

Um, first off why not just let Firefox report it and be done with it?

Try that and see if your problem goes away.

It still asks.

nothing there. I also removed the submitted, and set

so we'll see if it works.
