|
|
Lately, no matter how many times I restart my computer, I can't start Firefox. I double-click the icon, and wait about 5 seconds, until my pointer shows that nothing is trying to load up anymore.
The only thing that's changed while I've been on my computer, is that I tried to connect to my school's public internet line last night (2-23). It was working perfectly fine before I tried that.
Thanks for any help. |

I've tried to reinstall over the old one, twice in the last two days. Just now, I unistalled it, and reinstalled it again.
No luck.
(Also, since those "insta-messages" don't appear with IE, I'm only going to approve pictures until I get this sorted out, if that's okay) |

I always keep IE installed on my computer, in case anything happens. Firefox is my default though.
Apparently though, it's a compatibility issue with Firefox and Vista. There are others with the problem, so it might not be possible to get it resolved here. :\ Unless someone does come up with a magical solution. |

It's a new problem with it. It was reported on Feb 12th, and I didn't get it till a few days ago.
I suspect you'll have problems with it eventually. not |

Indeed, let it update.
Oh, just to save you some time, it's impossible to uninstall IE without having trouble with it in future... |

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. In the meantime, since I can't stand IE, I'm using Google Chrome. If anyone else has internet/browser problems, use this. It's very nice to use. :] |
