I use windows XP and recently upgraded to FF 6.0 when I click the FF shortcut it attempts to load with the hourglass icon but then stops. 5-8 minuets after it loads. This is obviously frustrating. I love FF and need your help.

I use windows Xp and FF 6.0 does not load quickly...it takes 5-8...sometimes 15 minuets before it loads.

I love Firefox too. Dump version six, which is not ready, I don't care what they say, and search for version 5.1. Problem solved.

Thank you. How do I dump it without loosing all my bookmarks ect. Never had to do that before.

Did this clear up after you restarted your computer?

Ive been looking for 5.1 but cannot find it. Every site that says 5.1 defaults to 6.0 frustrating

Here 5.0 if that is what you want.

     ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/5.0/win32/en-US/

But I don't what 5 is going to do for you if your having trouble with 6.

Did you try reading threw Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems, you should try to see what your issue are rather than go backwards.
