Thanks for the info on BleachBit. The reason why I didn't mention it was because the Windows version is a "preview" version and while I don't have a problem with Beta software may of my readers don't want to install something as such on their systems. @r2r.

Missing scroll bar could be a theme or add-on conflict. 3.5.1. did include a security patch updated for TraceMonkey the Java Script optimizer. You can try rolling back to Firefox 3.5 by uninstalling 3.5.1 and get 3.5 here: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.5/win32/en-US/ Haven’t heard of either of these issues from anyone else yet.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the java as directed and still it says I don't have it installed. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled FF3.5 followed by uninstall and reinstall java...still nothing. The scroll bar problem is new as well. Someone said there may be a compatibility issue but it worked fine before I updated FF. I'm thinking you tried to fix something that wasn't broke and now it is broken. I really want to be able to continue using facebook so I need a quick resolution to this problem or I will have to go back to IE since I can scroll there.

Go figure. I had already cleaned out all of the Windows and IE temporary files like you suggested but didn't mess around with any of the vacuuming programs. No habla Espanol.

So then I decided to block it from installing the 'DotNetAssistantExtension' folder by creating a extensionless file of the same name in the same folder and making it a system file and read-only. Then Firefox started crashing all the time and DW20 kept wanting to send error reports. I then decided to NOT run Windows Update and followed the instructions again and proceded to take it a step further by deleting the Microsoft entries in my 'prefs.js' and my 'extensions.cache','extensions.ini' and 'extensions.rdf' files only to see them IMMEDIATELY reappear in my 'prefs.js'. WTF? So, I decided to uninstall the KB963707 "patch" altogether - funny thing is though, it installed it ONE LAST TIME before removing the entry in "Add/Remove Programs"! This is despicable! I had to follow the instructions all over again and remove the entries in my 'prefs.js' one last time. Anyway, my question is this - how can I block the automatic installation of KB963707?? Thanks...
