Firefox problem.

Okay, I've used Firefox for about a year. But two monthes ago, it just stopped working. I'd click on it, then it'd open, but it won't load. So I click again and it freezes. So I have to open task manager and end the process. I thought my computer was the problem, so I just stopped using it for a week. But then a week became two monthes. I really missed my Firefox (seriously, IE sucks), so I uninstalled it and installed it again. I don't know what to do, it just won't work. What's wrong?

By the way, I attached pictures of how it stops working.

Help please?

did you try reinstalling it?

She said she did XD

lol. Yeah, I did.

You should completely reinstall it, ergo:

1. Uninstall Firefox
2. Delete the Firefox directory/folder (default: C://Program Files/Firefox or something like it)
3. Delete the Firefox directory/folder in My Documents
4. Run a search for all files containing the word "Firefox" in them and see if you need those files, if not delete or rename them
5. Run a virus scan with Dr. Web (never hurts)
6. Run TuneUp Utilities 2007 and see what they say after the maintainance
7. Install Firefox again
8. Tell us if it worked

Alright, I just tried it. But it still hasn't worked.

FIREFOX NEVER HAS PROBLEMS! IT'S ALL LIES FROM MICROSOFT!

*HEAVE*

Yeah what he said 8)

While your machine is booting hit F8 and go into safe mode w/ networking and try to launch firefox like that. Get back to us with the results.

Okay, I'm on safe mode right now. Tried opening it, but it still doesn't work. :/

Edit: I tried it again on safemode and it worked. I switched back, and it doesn't work. Wierd.

do you think maybe something on your computer might be blocking it? like maybe ...a firewall! :eek:

A firewall blocking a fox on fire?
Fat chance.

it could be microsoft's doing! trying to block away firefox <<

firefox is really slow on my laptop recently. Even IE is faster than firefox :cry:

Yeah disable the windows firewall and any other firewall software you may have.

Okay, I disabled all the firewalls. I don't think that was the issue, cause it still wouldn't work. :\

i got this going on with ie but i never really cared cuz i use firefox

as for you what version are you using? cuz ie started acting up after i updated to 7

Don't listen to Liz's lies!

There is some program or service that is running that is messing this up as evident by it working in safe mode.

Please give a list of programs at start up for starters. You can find this out by going to run and putting in the command MSCONFIG. The list will be on the last tab.

Yes there will be bizarre names.

You have some useless things on there, but none of them appear to be dangerous from my overview
