The US national team has a lot to prove this summer. Fans don't feel good about the roster. There are questions in the defense. Disappointing results have become the norm. In fact, you can say it's all been downhill since losing to Mexico in the Gold Cup.
And there's a big tournament coming up soon, which the team pretty much needs to win. And yet, the domestic league plays on, without its star players.
Remember when we were all wondering when the men's national team would catch up with the women? Hurray!
Wow, I can't even find a video of Dora singing the "We Did It!" song.
So, on Saturday, Spain stuck it up our ass and broke off the handle - sorry to lapse into super-technical coach-speak there. Well, that's disappointing. It would have been very, very nice to have a winning streak over the world champs.
(If only to put some kind of brake on the whole "Best team EVER!" line we've been force-fed for a month now. Anyone in the mood for a rant about how they're not even the best Barcelona team ever, seeing as how Cruyff's teams would have...never mind.)
It's easy and tempting to chalk up Saturday as a learning exercise. As in, DON'T SCHEDULE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS AS A TOURNAMENT TUNE-UP, YOU YUTZES. And to tell you the truth, I sort of get the psychology behind it. Dempsey, Donovan, Bocanegra, Cherundolo - they won't be around forever. They might not even be around deep into the World Cup cycle. Steve Sampson and Bruce Arena lost their jobs in some measure because they stuck with Their Guys too long, not giving the New Guard a chance to become the New Guard until it was Too Late.
And who better to test yourself against, than the very best? Just think of how incredibly easy Canada and Panama will look compared to Spain. The odds that Spain crushed Tim Ream's spirit beyond repair are actually pretty small.
Anyway, the gap between theory and practice turned out to be four goals before Spain decided they weren't going to run up the score. Lesson learned, right?
Sure, that was it.
First of all - was the Spain game really less important than the first round of the Gold Cup? If you go by ratings and attendances, I'll bet you the Spain game comes out way, way ahead. I'm not running down Canada and Panama here, but they should be the first to admit that they ain't Spain any more than we are. The US had an opportunity to genuinely alter some perceptions, and Bradley decided to focus on getting out of the group stage of the Gold Cup.
Fine, except, if we can't get out of the group stage of the Gold Cup, we shouldn't be scheduling Spain in the first place. If giving it 65% against Spain is the difference between winning the Gold Cup and not, then schedule someone who won't humiliate us in front of New England soccer fans who presumably have suffered enough by now.
Which is a delicate way of saying that this lineup, at least Saturday morning, was supposed to be stronger than we are now admitting. And that could lead to serious trouble in the short term, and the long term.
Let's take a closer look at this whole "inexperienced lineup" excuse. Jonathan Spector didn't play in the World Cup, but he played throughout the Confederations Cup...including against Spain. He shouldn't have been out of his depth.
And while no, Lichaj and Ream aren't grizzled veterans, the hard truth is that someone is going to have to start in the back, and it's not going to be the same guys who started in 2010. It's no good saying before the game that these players are the hope for the future, then afterwards that they only started because Bocanegra was being rested.
It doesn't get any more reassuring up top, either. It's not fair to bash Jozy and Agudelo, because when did they ever see the ball? Spain cut through our midfield without mercy, and I was under the impression that Jermaine Jones and Maurice Edu were supposed to play significant roles for this team. The only thing they accomplished was to give Bob Bradley more reason to start his kid.
While it was great that Landon Donovan got ninety minutes of rest, and Clint Dempsey got 45 - again, if it's rest the team needs, then don't schedule anyone at all. And if we're starting people to get them precious experience, don't throw them under the bus afterwards. If Lichaj, Ream and Spector aren't now going to be big parts of the team, then they shouldn't have played against Spain in the first place.
It's not as if our best eleven - whoever the heck that is - would have done appreciably better. But you'd never know that from the press releases coming out of Soccer House. Is it fair to say that we are completely, utterly, and helplessly in denial about the quality of our team right now?
Signs point to yes.
If the game didn't make you wince, then Sunil Gulati's performance at halftime did. I'm sure you enjoyed our wholehearted support of President Blatter, and share Sunil's faith that he will do something about the rampant corruption that characterized the previous regime of Sepp Blatter.
I'm holding out hope that we're actually going to get something out of this, in exchange for our support. No, we don't have to have the revote for the 2022 World Cup this week. It can be years from now, even. And if Sepp Blatter is instrumental in correcting that, Sunil will be completely vindicated. (Unless you subscribe to the theory that the USSF president should have anticipated rampant bribery among competing bids before all this, of course.)
But if all Sunil is getting out of this is Jack Warner's scalp - well, Jack Warner probably didn't vote for Qatar. Lining up behind Sepp Blatter looks great inside FIFA, but irredeemably corrupt to the general public. The FA might be acting out of sour grapeitude, but at least they're not drinking it down and calling it nectar like we seem to be doing. Please tell me we'll get something tangible out of all this. Why be a whore if you're not getting paid?
Oh, look! We have another national team! And it took a Paul Caligiuri-style Shot Heard Round The Corner from Lauren Cheney to beat Mexico, deep into injury time in the second half. Not good.
For our younger readers, the United States used to own Mexico in women's soccer the way Mexico used to own California, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. Also, the USWNT used to be both popular and good. Today, they are neither.
Oh, they're the defending Olympic gold medalists? That can't be right. Let me check Wikipedia...I'll be darned. So they are.
Well, perhaps Mexico turned out to be an outsider choice for the World Cup while I (and everyone else in the world) weren't paying attention. Unfortunately, according to Jenna Pel, signs point to no.
Either this is an above-average team cursed with illustrious predecessors and a fanbase whose expectations haven't dwindled as rapidly as their numbers - or Alex Morgan will make everything better.
At least there's an Olympics next year, in case we stink up yet another World Cup. Unfortunately, that's not an option for the men.

Had great day very interesting but not well sign posted worth a visit to on site museum nice walk along beach to get there
A little gem ... with a free bit of beach too! Archaeological dig and museum. Incredible Cave/Grotto by the sea - supposedly part of Tiberius' palace.
A charming, albeit short visit to the Villa of Tiberius and Museum of Archeology left us amazed at what life might have been like for the wealthiest of the Romand Empire visiting their coastal retreats. The museum does a good job of showing its artefacts (but could do with a little investment to the building's condition and exhibits). This does...
This place is less than 2 km from Sperlonga, so it's easy to walk there. The entrance fee isn't very much and I think it's only 2,50 if you're under 25.
The exhibition was interesting, and I like how it included telling how this villa was found in the 1950s because that was a fascinating story on its own.
Great piece of history with a superb museum in a great location. Not expensive to go into. Could do with some more explanations when you are actually in the villa but the cave is great.
Worth a visit while staying in Sperlonga. Just a quick drive away from the town center. Offers a chance to walk among the ruins of the Emperor Tiberius' villa. The grotto area is very cool - great for kids!
The Villa is all gone but the foundations remain and gives a good impression of what it once must have been like. The museum at the entrance has however the famous statues that has made the Villa famous and they are well worth a visit. So is the cave down by the beach where the statues once were located. It's...
We visited the Villa but thankfully did not go in but instead went to the beach next to it. From there you can see in to most of the villa for free and also enjoy a lovely beach
Archaeological museum + ancient villa. Paid entry. Interesting to see really big ancient sculptures at the museum, to visit villa and apartment of Tiberio, to see big and small fish in the pond, to make pictures in the cave.
This remarkable piece of history was found in 1957 during the construction of the highway that run right by the current site. The fact that this was just one of many of the places that Tiberius spent time is secondary to the artifacts that were found here are and many of which are still here in the small museum at...
What are the hours the site is open during the month of August? Also how do I best get there by public transportation? Thank you

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: The owner is a Boston-born architectural designer specializing in the acquisition, restoration, and landmarking of historic properties. He has managed properties and been involved in real estate investing for more than a quarter of a century. He holds a B.A. from Pepperdine University and an M.A. from Emerson College. Hamrick House, is named after the Pacific Northwest family that commissioned architects Albert Frey and John Porter Clark to design one of their first residential commissions. The Palm Springs City Council has designated the property a Class I Historic Landmark.
Why the Owner Chose Little Tuscany, Palm Springs, CA, USA:
"This is such a magnificent and unique historical property," states the Mark. "Our main goal was to respect and preserve the historical character and integrity while allowing the integration of all the modern conveniences and amenities required for today's luxury living in the California desert." continues Mark. 'Our natural landscape, spectacular views and the year-round weather led us to the decision to open our home to others who appreciate this special relaxing lifestyle in the tranquil desert setting.' Former Architectural Digest Editor-In-Chief Paige Rense describes the property as 'remarkable.'
The Unique Benefits at this Estate:
"We love movies and have several clients that work in entertainment and enjoy spending time relaxing in the desert. So the media was an important part of our design plan. The property has state of the art media, iPod, iPad or iPhone connects to surround sound throughout and an incredible outdoor movie theater with access to enormous collection of movies in all genres. Some televisions including the movie screen can display the same movie/dvd throughout- a marvelous feature when entertaining." "The outdoor king-sized beds are perfect for sunning or watching movies on those balmy nights under the star-studded desert skies with the twinkling view of the city lights."

W Adendorff, South Africa. 8 July 2015
We have a normal sized cat and we have always used Rogz Cats collars. They have always fit perfectly, but not this collar. It is way to big for our cat. We had to make new holes just so it can fit around his neck and not fall off. Then the end of the collar protrudes far beyond what is comfortable and there is nowhere for the end to go. I would not recommend buying this type of collar. It is a waste of money.
Holly, South Africa. 16 July 2016
I was extremely disappointed when purchasing this product. The collar is too big for a medium sized cat and the black colour coating began to peel off days after I got it.

Waveform will be available soon!
All rights reserved. No usage without prior licensing. Please be fair. Thank you!
This is the vitality of Africa! This positive track suits documentaries, image films or productions for Television.
Swinging African guitar-beat, into the desert to dance the savannah
A lively track with an atmospheric intro and a catchy main theme. An Invitation to a journey into the distance. Nice production music suitable for commercials and documentaries.
The stretching of time, bluuuueeessy ....
Directly from the highway through the desert sand, full guitar power,cabrioroof up and off we go
Oriental in the beginning this track develops into a beautiful ballad/lounge-track with soothing strings and wonderfull melodies.
The blistering sun above and the hot sand below! Typical African instruments carry the positive melody and create a relaxed mood.
A middle eastern, Arabian sounding, epic, highly dramatic piece, featuring eastern chant vocals, large drums and percussion section, strings, choir and other ethnic instruments. After a foreboding, tense opening section, the main percussion and chant part comes in at about 52 seconds into the track.
A dry and breathy desert rhythm soon gives way to a majestic melody which leads further into dark ambiences and a choir swelling into mystery & mythology. Dark.
A succinct melody and a diverse arrangement give far-reaching application possibilities to this song.
reminds of Lawrence of Arabia and other desert heroes, atmospheric classical epic
This is the vitality of Africa! This positive track suits documentaries, image films or productions for Television.
Rock guitars, typical orchestral passages and a lot of power! Solid hybrid Hollywood sound!
Desert fleas and camel humps dance in the hot wind to a delicate flute sound
String drone and ethnic flute. Dark, ominous, sparse, like the desert, savannah, mighty mountain ridges or vast open landscapes. Highly suitable for nature or travel.
Floating on the hot desert wind in the rhythm of the sand dunes
A very groovy, driving, positive and motivating rock track. Conveys a sense of zest for action and heading for new horizons.
Sounds like a warm ray of sunshine, which falls into the jungle, leaving a comfortable atmosphere.
Dark atmospheric film soundtrack style. Sparse, foreboding, sneaky. Slight ethnic slant.
Mysterious and haunting, an exotic middle eastern, persian, indian or arabic track based on a rhythm drone, tabla percussion and an ethnic wood flute.
You can feel the desert sand literally in your shoes. And the tension - what might wait around the next dune on us.
Middle Eastern Ethnic Flute with Oud and female voice. Reflective and mysterious.

News : Call Centre Gets Judges' Call
Nov 11, 2014 -- Yet another award has come the way of the Department of Housing's Housing Direct call centre after it was named 2014 Auscontact Contact Centre of the Year in the 31 to 80 Full-time Employees' category.
This is Housing Direct's second national award and the biggest to date for the call centre.
Department staff present to receive the awards included Ross Cicirello and Marisa Corby representing the Housing Direct team; Manager Libby Atkins, who was a national finalist for Contact Centre Manager; Tracy Thompson, national finalist for Contact Centre People Champion and Tess McGilvray, national finalist for Contact Centre Professional. Manager of Housing Direct, Libby Atkins said the Auscontact award was the biggest the team had won to date, with competition from both the private and public sphere across all industries.
"Our fellow finalists were in banking, insurance, government and outsourcing so it was quite a mixed group," Ms Atkins said.
"Some of these organisations have great facilities, training and reward and recognition budgets that we can't begin to compete with so it was our investment in our people and culture that was the key to our success."
Ms Atkins said her team was a fantastic group of people to work with. "They are committed to delivering the best possible service to our internal and external customers and have a willingness to embrace change rarely seen," she said.
"I am so proud of everything they have achieved in the past five years and this award is a credit to every member of the team, past or present."

Top 10 Best Male Rock Screamerslukestheman4
The Contenders: Page 3
Great vocal range in his scream. Listen to Unleash Hell, never trust the hazel eyed, some like it cold and air raid siren.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WHEN I VOTED, HE WAS 50 SOMETHING. MY VOTE PUT HIM UP TO 30, BUT IT'S STILL WAY TOO LOW! In all seriousness, I'm not some crazy fan-girl (or guy, in my case) that only likes Andy for for his looks. He deserves to at least be in the top ten. The only reason I might put my vote towards anyone else is because Andy said in his documentary The Making of Andy Biersack, that he only screamed in his first album because he didn't know how to write bridges. I might be taking that the wrong way, but I think he doesn't appreciate screaming that much. That's sad because he has (in my opinion) the best scream ever.
His scream is so powerful and can reach high vocal points that are just astounding I mean this guy has true vocal talent.V 1 Comment
Such a hard choice between Chester Bennington, Benjamin Burnley, and Michael Barnes. But in my opinion Michael gets it.
This is a truly unfair list. Listen to Release The Panc, Let Go and Feed The Machine. He should be at least top 5.
Puts everyone on this list to shameV 2 Comments

Toronto's Leading SEO Company, Numero Uno Web Solutions, Announces Its Top Three Principles of Good Web Design for a Successful Online Presence
Toronto, Ontario, Feb 13, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Numero Uno Web Solutions (NumeroUnoWeb.com), a fast-growing global Internet marketing firm that caters to small- and mid-sized business-to-consumer companies, is pleased to announce its top three principles of good web site design for a successful online presence.
"The design of a web site can have a direct impact on sales. At the same time, encouraging sales does not mean businesses have to sacrifice good design. In fact, a successful online presence is built around form and function; a seamless blend of aesthetically pleasing design and the most up-to-date conversion tactics," says Nadia Iaboni, Digital Solutions Manager at Numero Uno Web Solutions.
As the experts at Numero Uno Web Solutions note, great web design works well and looks great across a wide range of devices, including mobile phones, tablets, and personal computers (PCs), and even across browsers. Consumer spending on mobile apps and digital content is expected to increase from $18.0 billion in 2012 to $61.0 billion by 2016. As an example, the experts note that in 2008, "Internet Explorer" held 70% of the global market share. By 2010, it held less than 50%. A failure to design a web site that is easy for browser and mobile navigation means brands are losing out on traffic and sales. (Source: Goldman, C., "Internet Explorer usage falls below 50%," CNN Money web site, October 6, 2010, last accessed February 12, 2013.) Another strong design element that makes a web site stand out is its use of "white space," say the experts. White space is any empty area that doesn't contain text or graphics--however, it can be any colour. A strong design that incorporates white space is easier to understand than complicated layouts with numerous fonts and images. Furthermore, the use of white space helps direct the visitor's eye to the parts of a web site that the brand wants them to pay attention to.
Finally, the Numero Uno Web Solutions experts explain that choosing the right colour scheme is also an important aspect of web design in attracting qualified traffic. Colour is important, because it impacts the way people feel and react to a web site's and brand. Colour can attract and persuade online traffic, but it must be used in a balanced, effective way. If a small- or medium-sized business wants to attract a global customer base, it must also take into consideration the cultural implications of different colours.
Overall, a good web design incorporates "aesthetic conversion"--form and function that converts to sales. The experts at Numero Uno Web Solutions can help businesses design their web sites with a clear plan in mind, creating a visually stunning design that resonates with audiences and steers them through content that motivates and meets a brand's conversion goals.
Numero Uno Web Solutions is one of the top Internet marketing firms due to constant innovation and overall customer satisfaction. For more information on Numero Uno Web Solutions, and to discover how the company can help maximize your company's search engine optimization and online presence, visit

Today, with the most certainty and confidence that I have ever seen in her, my 16-year-old daughter told me an egg is a fruit because of its "hard shell and growing seed." FML

Well, I guess I can tell the doctor I get plenty of fruit in my diet.

What kind of fruit has a hard shell?
An egg of course.
Pomegranates, the outside is hard and the part you eat is the seeds. So actually a few fruits have a hard outer shell.

Coconut-yes. Pomegranate-not even close to an egg. It's very dense, but not hard like an egg shell

A coconut is a drupe not a fruit
Lychees do...
The botanical definition for nuts is a one-seeded fruit with a hard shell
Damn shes smart and old seniors tell us this generation is screwed
Again, watermelon also doesn't have the same type of hard shell as an egg. It has a rind, not a shell.
@stryder9090 - The question was not what kind of fruit is like an egg, the question was what kind of fruit has a hard outer shell. Pomegranates and Watermelon, do both have a hard (harder) outer part that you aren't really supposed to eat. Shell- 1. the hard protective outer case of a mollusk or crustacean. 2. something resembling or likened to a shell because of its shape or its function as an outer case. It is that second definition most of us are using, in case you are still confused.
"Resembling or likened" to a shell still doesn't sound like an actual shell. It's "like" a shell. Not a shell.
Well, I guess I can tell the doctor I get plenty of fruit in my diet.
Don't let his daughter make you a fruit salad..
egg salads are not that bad
There are so many things wrong with this answer. I wouldn't even know how to begin correcting her.
Maybe ask her what she thinks classifies as vegetables, and then work down from there.

I don't EGGspect a FRUITful future for her education. I'll see myself out.
why did you have to emphasize the pun? we all knew eggxactly what you meant.
just in case a person doesn't understand it quite really along with confusing eggs as fruits
whoops mistake quite a common mistake not quite really

That's the way the "egg" crumbles, I guess.
The saying is, 'That's the way the cookie crumbles.' Cookies aren't a fruit either (despite my fervent wishes).

You must be a complete imbecile. It's a pun. Nobody gets it.
But puns are supposed to be funny...and make sense.
Well, they are supposed to make sense. Not all of them are funny.
i think it would make sense if it was "that is how the egg is scrambled" or something better than that

Well, she's gonna learn today that isn't the case.
Kids have always been lacking in common sense and logic. It's kind of their thing. That's why we, as a society, decided they need school. It's the adults who are lacking common sense and logic that scare me :)
actually its your generation that thats at fault for not teaching children that stuff
By itwasntme14
At least you taught her to be confident...good luck with the fruit and egg thing though.

Good grief. A tomato is a vegetable AND a fruit. Vegetable- an edible part of a plant. Fruit- the flowering part of a plant that is edible. ALL FRUITS ARE VEGATABLES. Eggs are considered dairy or meat.
That's not right. A fruit is a seed bearing structure developed in the ovary of a flowering plant. Vegetables are the other non-seed bearing parts developed outside of the ovary such as roots, leaves, and stems. So by no definition are all fruits considered vegetables.
So what I'm getting out of all of this is that ketchup is a smoothie?!
Dictionary.com: Vegetable #2: the edible part of such a plant, as the tuber of the potato. Fruit #3: the edible part of a plant developed from a flower, with any accessory tissues, as the peach, mulberry, or banana. By my cited definition all fruits are considered vegetables.
Dictionaries tend to have very simplified definitions, and don't include every bit of information and every fact gathered by scientists. The general population doesn't need to know all the little details of what makes a fruit a fruit and a vegetable a vegetable, so dictionary.com isn't going to put pages of information up when simple sentences can give you a general, but imprecise, idea.
I Think they lost the whole idea of what the comment was originally made not lack of common sense for the misunderstanding of fruits and vegetables . But pure stupidity
Apparently many people don't understand analogies... You know, the things you learned in 5th grade. Written out, egg:fruit::tomato:vegetable means egg is to fruit as tomato is vegetable. And egg is not an egg as a tomato is not a vegetable.
To #57, an egg is an egg. Sorry, I just had to point that out. We all knew what you meant though, or I hope we all did other than I wouldn't expect the original poster's daughter to understand.

Just updated to the latest version Firefox and wondering about all the things that have changed? This article covers the most common questions people have after upgrading and has tons of links to other great articles that you might want to explore later.
If you had tabs and windows open when you closed Firefox, the new default Firefox home page will have a Restore Previous Session button on it. To get your tabs and windows back, just click it.
If you don't use the default Firefox home page, you can restore your tabs and windows from the History menu:
For more info about how session restore works, see Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows and How do I restore my tabs from last time?.
If you're using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you now have an orange Firefox button that takes the most common functions and puts them in one menu.
If you're using Windows XP or you've customized your toolbars, you can switch to using the orange Firefox button by:
See What happened to the File, Edit, and View menus? for problems with the Menu bar and check out Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars for more about arranging Firefox to fit your needs.
Firefox now has the option of replacing the menu bar with the Firefox button which takes the most common functions and puts them in one menu. You can switch to using the Firefox button by:
See What happened to the File, Edit, and View menus? for problems with the Menu bar and check out Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars for more about arranging Firefox to fit your needs.
To streamline the navigation section and group buttons by task, a few things have changed:
To streamline the navigation section and group buttons by task, a few things have changed:
Not crazy about this arrangement? No problem. It's your browser, make Firefox work the way you do. See Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars for more about customizing buttons and toolbars.
The Status Bar at the bottom of the Firefox window has changed. The new Status Bar only shows page loading activity and link previews. When neither of those are needed it simply disappears. Please see What happened to the Status Bar? for more.
If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, text in Firefox may appear blurry. This is usually due to Windows ClearType not being turned on.
For more details see, Fonts look blurry. It's also possible that you are also experiencing issues related to outdated graphics card drivers. See Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL for more information, including how to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox as a possible workaround.
After upgrading, Firefox checks for new versions of your add-ons and disables those that are no longer compatible. By default it will continue to check for new versions periodically. For more info about re-enabling add-ons, see Re-enable add-ons that were disabled when updating Firefox.
When Firefox updates, it turns off add-ons that are not compatible with the new version. In addition, add-ons that may have been automatically installed by other programs without your knowledge (third party add-ons) have been disabled. For more info about re-enabling add-ons, see Re-enable add-ons that were disabled when updating Firefox.
Google Toolbar is no longer compatible with Firefox, however, many of its features are already built into Firefox. See Google Toolbar is no longer compatible with Firefox - Here are some alternatives for information about accessing your Google bookmarks and add-ons that you might find helpful.
Relax. If you were using the Bookmarks Toolbar to hold your favorite sites you may just have to turn it back on:
You can also view and organize your bookmarks in the Library window.
For more about using bookmarks, including tagging and organizing, see Create bookmarks to save your favorite webpages
The main reason is that it just makes more sense — especially with features like App Tabs and the Add-ons Manager. For details on this change, see How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox
Older versions of Firefox used www.google.com/firefox as the home page. If you are still using this page, you will see the message, "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!" at the bottom of the page. You can fix this by restoring the default home page. See How to set the home page for instructions.
There are already the following keywords for users that type Firefox n: 3, 4.
I added as keyword 3.6, 4.0, 5 and 5.0. It needs review.
From the release of Firefox 7, its helpfulness has dropped from 80% to 35%.
Wow that sucks. And what sucks more is that it doesn't show up on the dashboard (need to file a bug for that). Any ideas what could have caused this? The article didn't change so it must be something in Firefox that we didn't cover. Could it be the "http://" thing?
Thanks for pointing this out Scoobi!

The helpfulness is averaged over one month. Maybe an average over two weeks is better for a 6-week release cycle.
Any ideas what could have caused this?
See /forums/contributors/707680. Maybe a link to Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix for Fx 7 only is enough.
Isn't it easier to use this add-on http://blog.bonardo.net/2011/09/30/is-your-firefor
In the same thread about Firefox 7 issues, there's an infinite connection problem (also no longer applicable in Fx8) . See Websites show a spinning wheel and never finish loading.
The two solutions must be specific to Fx 7.

The two solutions must be specific to Fx 7.
So we never ending up making a change to the article and the initial indications for Firefox 8 is that it's still poorly rated though not much data has come in.
Maybe it's because the article is targeted to 3.6 users upgrading and most of them have upgraded already (except those that don't know about the new version). Maybe we need another article targeted at the people updating from 7 to 8 and then in six weeks from 8 to 9, etc.?
Reference: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forums/knowledge
Maybe we should rename this to: Common questions when upgrading from Firefox 3.6
Any other ideas?
I'm going to go ahead and rename this article to help avoid confusion with the new Latest Firefox issues article.
I'll rename it to Common questions after upgrading from Firefox 3.6 (after instead of when).
some user tell us she use a old version of Firefox.
She use an old URL as homepage
http://www.google.com/firefox or http://www.google.de/firefox
see this screenshot... http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/duc301h5/oldversio
It helps when she restore the (new) default homepage.
Should we include this in the help article?
You're right, I see that. too. I saw this reported recently on the support forum and resetting the home page to the default (about:home) fixes the problem. Ref:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/907328 Why does my start page say "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!" when in fact I do have the lastest version?
Solution Chosen (posted 2 days ago by SafeBrowser):
You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained by Google. You appear to have the latest Firefox version.
If you want the Google search page as your home page, change your home page to about:home (a new, updated version of the old Google/Firefox home page is now built-in to Firefox).
See --> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the
Also see --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Finding+your+
Firefox+version You can also see your version on the Help > Troubleshooting Information display
The simple fix is to go to the Startup, home page, tabs, and download settings and click the "Restore to Default" button, explained in How to set the home page. I'll add this to the "to do" list. Do you want to take a stab at it?
P.S. There is already a needed change pending for Firefox 10 in the "to-do" list as detailed here:
New features:
The Forward button now only appears after having navigated back a page
.... but this change can still be done now, since it apples to the current Firefox version.
By the way, here's the bug that added that text to the old Firefox start page: Bug 669679 - New copy for 3.6 upgrade snippets
Michael Verdi updated the article for the needed Firefox 10 changes:
