So, I use Firefox on my dinky computer. I just had to get a new keyboard because I accidentally fried mine with my wet hair. :o Anyways, today I went to open up Firefox and it'll load for a second and then it freezes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it still doesn't work. I'm okay for now, I downloaded the Internet Explorer upgrade and it's almost exactly Firefox, but still I want to know what's wrong with my stupid Firefox. Is it the computer or Firefox itself? :confused:
Sounds like Firefox issue.
How could I fix it then? =/
I'd get a clean copy ( another download) of a new Firefox and try it.Quote:

I'd run a virus scan first of all, scan for viruses and spyware, both of which can affect a browser.
Did you mean Internet Explorere acts like firefox, or that it works and Firefox doesn't? Your post was kind of confusing.
IE works and Firefox doesn't sorry for the confusion. I just ran a virus test today and it said the computer was virus free.
Run AdAware or Spy Bot Search & Destroy for ad ware. Dump cookiies, history, temporary Internet files. Run disk cleanup and defrag - all after completely uninstalling Firefox. THEN do a clean reinstall of Firefox.
Can someone please provide the link for Adaware and Spybot? I had them on my laptop but it kind of skipped my mind to reinstall them on here.
Hey Bri --
Heres the link to the thread you started last time there was problems with your computer -- my post has all the information in it that you're looking for (links to adaware etc.)

:D Hope that helps!
Gee, I'm always the one having computer problems, aren't I? :p
I found the links and I ran AdAware, getting ready to run Spybot. AdAware found 40 critical things on it. :eek:
Some of my mates I write to had lots of trouble with Firefox to.....it used to mess up a lot.
Wom
Since IE is doing so well I'm just going to keep it for now. I have another problem though. I installed the latest Direct X updates like this said to, and now it's still saying something's wrong. I want it fixed because I can't play the Sims2! :(
The graphics card in your comp probably isn't capable of running the latest DirectX.
I had a feeling it was something like that. Can you buy new graphics cards, and if so how much are they?Quote:

On a desktop PC, they are available for anywhere from $50(not bad) to $1000 :eek:
It's a Desktop. But $50 is an awful lot just for a little Graphics card.Quote:

Right now, My graphics card is a 256MB SyncDRAM.. Is that bad? :confused:
Hubby told me when I asked about card, it's a good one but Sims game may require more memory.Quote:
