I had about 20 websites in 'Fox Tab', upgraded to FF5 this morning. Installation went OK. After I went to a website I tried to open the 'fox tab' icon, all I had was a black screen, had to close out FF to continue. Would really like to get the websites back!!

I believe I may have solved this problem. Or, at least, solved it for myself. I noticed that the screen only went black once I pressed 'Control-Tab.' I uninstalled every tab-based extension I had, and the problem disappeared once FoxTab was gone. Tab Mix Plus appears to still work, or did once I reinstalled it. So, unless you really need FoxTab's abilities, that should hopefully fix the problem.

Here is the best solution I think go back to 4.1 and can be found here http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.php

Hi dad2992, I went back to FF4.1, no problems reinstalling it. When I ran it all my 'Fox Tabs' were intact. Thanks for the advice! Fred
