A very dead fox

Postby expat » Tue Dec 09, 2008 5:31 am

My Firefox has died. No start and not a even a twitch in safe mode. I have no idea. I have upgraded, down graded and set my system back to last week, but nothing. The only thing I have done is a video driver update and even set that back too. Anyone got any ideas please?

Thanks

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

My only suggestion is a full uninstall/install. Perhaps you've already tried that?

I've been having my own problems with Firefox 2 recently. It sometimes locks solid for no apparent reason. The only way over it is to shut it down with the old 3-finger salute. I never updated to Firefox 3 as I've seen reports that it's buggy & doesn't support some of my favourite plugins.

I assume it was the plugin's. I have just managed to get it to start. I downloaded 3.0 again and then managed to start it in safe mode at last. I disabled the plugins and all now seems to be fine. I would prefer 2.X due to a couple of plugins, but now it is running I will leave well a loan.

You can always try the 3.2 beta ;D that's what i use and so far there are no major issues with it. the main issue that i ave is not being able to view my hotmail account properly. and some of the spell check needs working on. (marks "donator" as misspelled  ::) )
