I've been trying to fix something all day with Firefox. I couldn't open it this morning from the icon on my desktop, I managed to open it somehow and it would only show half the viewing page, with the other half being off to the right, No scroll bars and a wide beige page section with red typing on it in html (I unable to post that here ). I tried rebooting but that didn't help. I defragged and ran all my virus scans.
I decided to uninstall and reinstall Firefox(forgot to save 2 years of my favourites). And I was blown away to open it up and it's the same thing.
I'm using XP professional and I was looking for that application where you can go back to a previous time...I can't even find that.
Please help me if you can.

No my dear peaceful, it's only just going on 9pm now...early yet...but getting chilly. I've tried support in the past and I don't know how to use it . There seem to be so many options to get help and I don't know which way to turn...meantime my love...I fixed it myself...ta-daaaa. I'm so proud of myself.....

Libra and Machines, weights and measures, MsTickle... Seems that once we get our minds and hand on 'em, they fall under our spell and want to do our bidding! :)

Hi I to have been having problems with firefox. For 2 days it would not open or it continually gave me the agree to terms page. I have agreed to the terms about 5 times already. I did the scans and re installed the program. So fat today I have not had a problem. Knock on wood.

Hi MsTickle I really don't know too much re computers but I have done system restore and I have XP. All I do is go to start, then accessories, then system tools then system restore and set date for about a week before. This will then restore and you have to restart for it to take effect. Good luck, hope this helps and works. Ellie :D

I too have Win XP Pro. I had a problem with Firefox also, a day or two ago - it kept hanging every time I opened it, the error console reflected some errors I couldn't make sense of. I made a screenshot of it, logged on to mozilla.com using internet explorer, tried to ask for support from them. I got cut off (the screenshot I made was too heay). I gave up. I'm now using ie. Smooth so far.

I found that error console when I was trying to fix things. It was chock a block full of errors. Are we supposed to do anything with that?
I switched to IE too for the duration and it was going all right for a change but it really doesn't function well for any length of time these days.

I fixed the problem without having to do that but some weird things have happened...1) I lost my list of favourites in IE. 2) Even though I uninstalled Firefox and downloaded it again, it has reverted back to the original.
3) Spellchecker in Firefox has stopped working. It seems computers will always get the better of me. *sigh*
