Please also mark me down as being dissatisfied with FF version 17.0.1. (Using XP up to date).
Problems noted:
1) Occasional blank screen after clicking on a link or bookmark, followed by nothing. Close active window - try again - works OK.
2) Occasional milky / opaque screen after clicking on a URL found in a Gurgle search - followed by nothing. Close active window - try again - works OK.
3) A return of a previous issue where saving a PDF file in Foxit viewer (or acrobat -doesn't matter which) causes the machine hang / freeze for up to 30 seconds before returning control to the user. This was happening with earlier versions but was fixed somewhere around v13 or similar. Now it's back

Is it all that difficult or dangerous to re-install the previous version - or roll back to it?

And there's the stupid opening message present in some earlier versions of Thunderbird but especially annoying when one starts version 17: "This folder is being processed. Please wait until processing is complete to get messages." which requires an OK click to get on with the main functions of the program. Infuriating! We know it takes .05 of a second for things to happen. We accept that. So why make us acknowledge a silly damn message which states the bleedin' obvious, before allowing access to the program's functions?
