anyone else having issues. mine just went out last night. right in the middle of surfing. i tried again today and nothing. i even uninstalled, downloaded and reinstalled and it still won't work. i have changed NO settings. it just went bye-bye. ie sucks.
firefox has nothing to do with 'connected' issues. meaning it is end user product....so if one firefox went out, it wouldnt be connected to another one? if im explaining it easy enough
if firefox has went out, it HAS to be something on your end. firefox program doesnt connect to the mainsite/developer inorder for it to be able to work...
i suggest power cycling your modem
repair you connection.....clearing out the network cache and shit
I'm using it right now.
I'm not sure what to say but uninstall it then download this program called ccleaner and when you install it and its up and running click on "registry" then click "scan for issues" then after its done scanning click "fix selected issues". Then install Firefox again and it should work.
Not sure if it will work but its worth a try, that usually fixes all my problems.
When you delete firefox from your pc some files storing your profile settings are left on your computer. I had the same problem as you and I after I found and deleted these files I was able to install and run firefox again. when I reinstalled w/o deleting the profile info it didn't work but after I deleted profile folder it worked fine but had to reinstall all my add-ons.
I found the profile folder on my pc here
C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Maybe even deleted the whole mozilla folder from application data folder. Can't remember
Its just a registry restore not a full system restore
If using windows xp
Start button
All programs
Accessories
System Tools
System Restore
Then "restore my system to an earlier time"
Go back only as far as you have too
