Ive used Mozilla for years with no trouble at all.
About 6 weeks ago the normal "update to latest version of Firefox " tab appeared, ... so I clicked it for my automatic update.... big mistake....
Since downloading, Ive been unable to open Firefox browser, period.
I heard there were issues with it and others experiencing the same thing so deleted the latest version and re-installed a older version ...all was well and I could once again open Firefox browser, although it seemed to run slow.
Then, when my pc went into hibernation another Firefox update automatically downloaded and now once again, I cannot open the browser at all.
All I get it a message saying " Firefox encountered a problem" and to send the crash report so Mozilla can look at it.
So I thought bugger it,Forget Mozilla, I'll try Safari ...downloaded it and again, unable to open.... In fact, the only browser I can open is this one Im using now which is a old Netscape browser... Its driving me mad, sooo slow.
Ive looked into why this Firefox problem is occurring and from the posts on Google ive tried the suggestions ( as much as I can with my pc knowledge ) all to no avail.
Im using windows XP.
Can anyone shed any light? help me?! its driving me insane with frustration.
Gladly offer Beers to anyone who can help me get it sorted, its effecting my ability to work and causing all sorts of problems.
