Firefox problems


Recommended Posts

Every time I open Firefox, it won't let me do anything. The green arrow shows up, but when I click it, it says there are no new updates available. I'm using Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6 regular version.

This used to happen like 50% of the time I opened FF. Now it happens every time.

yes, and it helped, although I'll admit I'm mystified why I was having this problem in the first place.

The other problem I occasionally used to have (which I've seen other people mention), is that FF used to popup the profiles box whenever I opened the program. If I tried to use my profile, it would tell me it's in use. I was only able to use Guest. Recently, it's been this other problem...

Thanks bangbang :)

For that other problem, go into task manager, processes tab and manually close firefox.exe. Sometimes it doesn't close down properly.

Yeah, I've noticed that sometimes when you try to open FF again, it won't open, and I have closed it manually through task manager. I thought the "profile is in use" error is something else, because why would it allow you to use FF at all if it's already open?

because you can run another instance using another profile.

OK.

One more, somewhat unrelated problem:

When I open Gmail in Firefox or IE, nothing happens if I try to click on something. It loads, but then it just sits there. Clicking on mail messages yields no result. I am only able to use my Gmail account when I'm on Opera. Anyone have any idea?

Do you have some kind of antivirus installed that also has script blocking? That may be causing the problems. I believe GMail uses html in Opera while using scripts in Fx and IE.
