People either don't like the changes to the user interface, or complain about extensions not being compatible. But you can't "live in the past" (stick with some older version) forever.
I only switched from seamonkey to firefox because at the time, seamonkey wasn't keeping up with the core improvements to firefox, but it is now. Seamonkey 2.3 has the same core as firefox 6, but maintains the classic mozilla user interface.

Quote from: colintivy I .. have failed to find the method to direct it to the Plus.net as a starting point.
The terminology for "starting point" is Home Page. You can set this under Tools - Options - General

I have eventually found the required procedure, FF6 does not have the usual old Tools icon due to the excess Eye Candy!. But a somewhat buried tutorial spelt it out. ie: type in the required web address in the connect box and wait for the connection to be made. Then drag the icon to the left of the address across to the home icon and drop it. the address is then available when starting up which is what I wanted. I think that you can add more if required, I prefer to select from recent selection of others from the prompt list if required prompt menu.
Experience with older versions of things is a problem when you cannot find the menu item that did what you wanted.

The Firefox button is intended to be a replacement for the Menu Bar taking up less space, however one could argue they've saved space by eliminating the window border which showed the page Title rather then by eliminating a toolbar..

IE 6 = fast on a modern machine. IE 7 and 8 are sluggish and a pain. Ironically I never liked IE 5 or 5.5 much but IE 4 was very good back in the day.
Chrome is another funny one for updates.. it's updating every other day which i find annoying. C'mon Googsters, get it right in one shot and do one release not small fixes and repairs daily.
FF I gave up on years ago due to memory leaks. Seamonkey is the better alternative and written by the same guys who write FF.. it's slightly different but a lot more stable.
I also use Cometbird.. a superb bit of kit for a browser that few people know about.
