Firefox freezing (Read 191 times)

I've had this problem since yesterday...

Whenever I try to start up Firefox, the entire browser just freezes, before it even gets to load the homepage (Google, in this case). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, deleting from the registry, and tried a spyware scan, but all to no avail.

Is there a fault with the latest update, or is it just me?

Thanks...

I've had no problems with the latest update. Grin

Have you tried a Virus scan?

I've tried a spyware scan, but not a virus scan...

Know of any decent scanners? Tongue

Damnit!

Done a complete virus and spyware scan, reinstalled it numerous times (tried different versions too), tried a system restore, took Firefox out of the freezer, and STILL the problem won't go away!

It just won't load anything up without locking up!
