New Firefox chafing me--it hates GLP
Sigh, I upgraded to Firefox 2.0.0.7. Nothing but troubles. It keeps trying to install itself EVERYDAY, and then cannot finish. Perhaps something is interfering, but I don't think so, since I have successfully installed the new version (if that's a success). Also, we can close it down, and if we try to reopen, it will say it's already running and to close the former process--although nothing is running. We have been logging out and in--not an efficient thing to do, but I don't know where to find 2.0.0.6 (the last stable build, IMHO).

With GLP, I can come in. The first link I open shuts Firefox down and gives me the dratted error reporting screen. Then Microsoft says, "Firefox caused the problem." Yep.

Please help. I LOVE firefox--NOT a hater. What can I do to make it work? I'm using IE now out of need.

Must be another issue, maybe a trojan or whatever ...
I am here to challenge your indoctrinated false belief that flaming queens don't use shovels ...

Nope. My computer is clean. Oh, and I meant 2.0.0.5. I liked that version. Dratted auto updates.

I'm using that too, no probs. Do you have several addons? Maybe trying removing it all together and reinstalling.

Or--- ditch it and move on to Opera, it's better. Offers more widgets/addons and it's more secure.

I recently started using Opera, which was recommended to me by a friend, after Firefox started giving me some problems.

I haven't looked back since.

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.7 and have had zero problems with it.

However, I am running it on a very stable Windows 2000 Pro system.

Re: New Firefox chafing me--it hates GLP
Well, I think the problem is some flowers or trojan. Might clean out your computer's brain. I use FireFox 2 0 0 7 on both my running machines one is on Win98SE the other on XP Pro. No problems here. And I have it on my laptop that is running Ubuntu Linux and no problem there either.

FireFox is way cool. Used to use Opera but it always had rendering problems.

God forgive me, but I actually LIKE W2K.

All round, the best and most reliable OS Microsoft has produced, IMO.

WinXP isn't too bad, either.

Re: New Firefox chafing me--it hates GLP
I use to use firefox exclusively..

Then I found Opera! OMG it is the best browser ever. So many simple things that are like duh, why doesn't everyone do this.
Like the zoom function....whoa what a concept zoom the whole fricken page as one entity. Instead of firfox's stupid increase text size function. Oh and what's this...an option for fit page to screen width...what a concept. So you mean I can make everything as big as I please, maintain all the formatting and never have to scroll side to side..Genious! Why doesn't every program do this?

LOL, touche. It seems to be a common maladie.

I am proud to say, of my 6 machines, I have finally wiped the last traces of widows from the last one in June. I have never been happier. Amazing to have puters that just do what their told and don't talk back.
