You just got misfortune with one of 3rd party addons: check that all
of them are Firefox 3.x - compatible. Of course the version was
throughly tested on Windows Vista before being released. It was
installed w/o any problems on my Windows Vista Home Premium with all
settings from the previous version correctly transferred.

The connection is indeed slow as of now: it tool about 15min to
download 7.8Mb over broadband DSL. From my observations www.getfirefox.com
is more responsive than other sites but that could be a fluctuation.

Mammon slept. And the beast reborn spread over the earth and its
numbers
grew legion. And they proclaimed the times and sacrificed crops unto
the
fire, with the cunning of foxes. And they built a new world in their
own
image as promised by the sacred words, and spoke of the beast with
their
children. Mammon awoke, and lo! it was naught but a follower.
