    Already updated, and seems as good as 3.5 in speed etc.
    My favourite browser, if only for some really useful add-ons
    Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!

    'Riddled with bugs' is inaccurate and sensationalistic. It suggests that the release was problematic for a majority of users, which was not the case.

    Not sure that that's such a problem in this article as the article is advertising the fix.... anything that might scare people (even with sensationalistic reporting) to get the update is surely a good thing....

    I have been using 3.5 since b4.
    I've had no 'flash' issues whatsoever.

    The only reason to be still running 3.0.11 should extension compatibility.

    Ive had some serious Flash issues. Especially when multiple mypace music tabs are open.
    Another reason is like you say extension compatibility... i have a fair few add-ons but they are slowly going 3.5 compatible.
