As I always update my Firefox, when I got the message to update t0 3.6.23, I said yes. I was up late last night and not fully aware of the fact that I had 7.0 installed. I uninstalled 3.6.23 but want to know why I got it in the first place: was this you or a hacker? I have two external drives with all my working data, which I disconnected as soon as I realized that I did not need/want 3.6.23 so I can not do any work until I hear fro you. Thanks Windows XP SP2, lost of add-ons and plug-ins (which is why I refer FF to IE)
