   Ever since Firefox 3.5, on my Windows XP Pro 32-bit SP3 laptop, the Limited User Accounts get their Firefox Profiles totally messed up with each full version upgrade (3.5, 3.6, and now 4.0). The difference this time is that my old standby backup and recovery Extension, FEBE, has no working version for Firefox 4. So I lost two Profiles and could not restore them from FEBE Backups.

   This version of Firefox also makes it impossible to lengthen short urls, and limits several other formerly useful Extensions.

   Firefox 4.0 is not ready for public release based on my experiences. Neither was Firefox 3.6. This is a disturbing trend at Mozilla, and I can no longer recommend Firefox for Windows XP users who have Limited User Accounts on their computers. Without FEBE, I cannot recommend Firefox for anyone.
