    I like Maxthon, I use it a lot. But one thing that's important to know is that it uses the Internet Explorer engine which isn't as safe to use as Firefox. I'm careful about where I surf to and turn active content off for safety reasons (scripting, activex, etc) except for sites I trust. If you tend to do a lot of surfing and visit lots of new links every day then you'd be better off with Firefox for general use.

    Which one are you using version 1 or 2 (maxthon2).

    The Release notes tell us what was fix, repair or add/subtracted, etc.
    Whats new in Firefox. In this case 3.0.5
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox.../releasenotes/

    Update time for me from what I read .

    It's because one of your security programs is locking the homepage so it can't be hijacked. I'm not sure which one offhand because I don't have SAS or Defender installed for me to look but you could bypass each one for a minute and try again.. or look in each of the scanners settings and see if there's a specific item you can uncheck to allow the homepage change (probably is).
