Since late last night, I cannot get Firefox to actually open for me (I click, and it looks promising for a split second, and then nothing happens again EVER). Therefore, I have been stuck using Internet Explorer.

...I cannot tell you how strongly I disapprove of this. Bleh.

ETA: Finally, my beloved returns to me! Apparently redownloading and installing seems to have worked. Please to never leave again!

Oh! That happened to me once. I turned off my modem (and re-started my computer, I think) and then firefox opened up just fine, except without a start page (obviously). So then I turned my modem back on and reloaded the page, and for some reason all was well. I have *no idea* what that was all about, so I don't know if it'll help. But for what it's worth... *g*

I've restarted, I've tried with my modem, I've tried with no modem, I've tried with my wireless. NOTHING. I think there must have been something poisonous in the extension updates I downloaded last night.

My firefox does that as well. Usually I have to CTRLALTDEL and go end the process that is for some reason still running. Or restart my computer.

Mozilla did that to me the other day; completely crashed, taking ALL of my bookmarks except the ones imported from IE with it.

I was NOT amused.

In fact, I was polylingual.

And on top of it all, Firefox has stopped showing me pictures in Firefox. Just.... boom. None.

Aggravating to no end.

Well, they have a new version of firefox out, anyway. You could download that as a replacement. I'll send you the link in del.icio.us

Or not, because I didn't have it bookmarked. It's on the http://www.mozilla.com/ frontpage.

Actually, that is what I just downloaded for the reinstalling process -- it worked very well. Yay!
