My browser has automatically upgraded to version 3.5.7, from 3.5.6, and this new version is the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen. It resets any changes I make to security and privacy options when it closes, and when you load it anew it opens to the pages it normally opens to after a new install. And it will no longer save multiple open tabs, it just opens like a new install, and loses any changes I have made in the options section. I'd love to find the previous version online for download because I am really HATING this piece of junk version.

Anyone else having any issues with the "update?"

This is strange...my computer crashed, and on it's startup it ran the check disk utility, and now the browser is running fine. It must have fixed whatever was wrong. Weird.

It seems more stable now, but every once in awhile it resets itself and I have to change all the option settings back to the way I want them. I do not know why they have it save passwords by default setting. I'm my be old fashioned, but "set it and forget it" is a good way to never be able to log into your bank account web site again, as well as give your kids and anyone who may get access to your computer a way into areas you don't want them to go, like your personal e-mail and bank account.
