    FireFox - What's up with this?
    I have been using FireFox as my default browser for quite some time, but all of a sudden it stopped working. I can only use the browser if I use the safe mode (it's built into FF). I have tried unistalling & reinstalling, but that does nothing to help. Has anyone else experienced this problem & if so what do I need to do to correct the problem:confused:

    I have found that sometiimes this could be caused by an extension malfunction.
    For example using two tab extensions, etc.

    Have you tried opening FF and removing all your extensions/themes and reinstalling them as needed.

    Thank you for the speedy response. No I have not tried deleting any extensions (I guess you mean add ons), but if you can tell me how to do it I will give it a try. Thanks again.

    Click on "Tools/Extentions" then uninstall them one at a time. Then restart FF. Should work

    Thank you Jon! Now I can run FF as it was meant to be ran. I can't thank you enough. I will now consider you "my very own" computer GURU. ;)

    So you know.. I look at new Firefox extensions everyday - there are so many out there that are so cool and handy. I recommend: Scrapbook, Tab Mix Plus, and foXpose.

    Click on Tools/Extensions/ then "Get More Extensions" and look at the "new" and popular". :)

    Thank you Jon. I just downloaded the extensions you suggested as I don't think you would give me any bad advise. I mean after all you are my new Guru, that & the fact that us "golden oldies" must stick together.
