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

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 Grin

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 Roll Eyes
