    i had to install 1.0.2 because that little red thing up in the top corner was really annoying, i had to manually download it becuase the update through FF wouldn't work, but i think it runs slower maybe you have to redo the about:config routine...?

    Yeah, I'm sure it's a problem on your end, like your ISP. I personally have no problem at all with the new updates (and auto-update worked for me).

    I used the config tweaks for my firefox that im running right now, and It helps alot... its a bunch faster. Try it. Just type in about:config in the address bar, and search google for what to tweak, I cant remember right now.

    You must redo the about:config tweak
