I don't consider my situation to have been a problem. However, in another newsgroup, a fellow has been having problems, when I went through the update process. Why, no one knows.

My upgrade from 3.0.10 to 3.5 made all my stored web addresses and passwords disappear, it's never happened before.

3.5 is a big step in the right direction, from what I've seen of it, apart from the above issue. It's faster to start, looks and feels cleaner and more responsive.

If anyone has issues, try clearing cache, etc before installing. I found that actually uninstalling the old version manually instead of just upgrading, and clearing junk from the profile worked to solve my above issue with another machine.

I posted this elsewhere, but i had the same issue. IF you still have your old FF 3.0 profile, shut down FF, delete signons.sqlite, recopy signons3.txt into the profile & restart FF. Should be solved. Even if you don't have your old profile, try moving signons.sqlite into another folder (just in case you need to restore it) & restart FF. Some folks are reporting just deleting signons.sqlite solves this.

The third paragraph of my initial post alluded at some difficulties which I had encountered. Everything was cool as long as 3.0.x was used as default, but I ran into difficulties when I made 3.5.1 default. Although I had each program shortcut modified to use its own profile, when I made 3.5.1 default, it insisted in using the Program File/Mozilla Firefox installation folder, and with it the 3.0.x profile. The mess was complete, as 3.0.x has different add-ons, not compatible with 3.5.1.
I can see that, in order to have 3.5.1 default, I would have to install 3.5.1 in the default location, and, I guess remove 3.0.12, which could be installed in another folder.
I, always, hung on the old version, till I was convinced that the new one was it. And, the new version was installed in the default location. This is the first time that I have had to do these acrobatics. I have heard that the Mozilla people want everyone to make the switch.
At this point, I am very irritated.

I am still running FF3.5.1 as my default. But, I am less and less happy with FF in general. It has become, and I mean the bare bones browser, overwhelmed with bloat.

I am really waiting for SM 2.0 to be released. I tried the beta, it's just not yet there for me. But, once it is out, I will probably jump ship. It is just solid as a rock, no need for Roboform (although in the beta the wallet.crypto.autocompleteoverride line in about:config seems to be missing). I just need to wait for it to cache email addresses in my ISP's web mail. I am told that this will be there. For now, I use Safari for that email.

Safari is really very good. Solid as a rock. A memory hog, but, these days, it is of little import. The biggest problem with Safari is that it is totally boring. No themes like Mostly Crystal to brighten up, no Colorful Tabs, now in SM, FF, and, in a way, in IE.

But, you know, I am getting very old very fast, so, hey, SM coders, hurry it up.
