After installing FF 5 the familiar type page appears this one stating "You are now running Firefox 5" with ads for various add ons. No matter what I do with every setting I can think of and even disabling certain add ons when I close the browser and then re-open it expecting my homepage of igoogle.com/ig to appear it's the damn welcome to FF 5 again. It shows on any tab program I've tried and when I hit my "Home" icon I go to Google as I should. But when restarting either the PC or just the browser the welcome screen is still there

Thanks for all of your info cor-el! It just all appears to be a lot of work with little reward (for me) as Firefox 5 doesn't really seem to offer any upgrades that are useful for me. I just went back to version 4.0.1 and all is fine. Thanks again for the response!
