Active Rain Members Come Through For Me

Thursday, I started trying to get my firefox (3.0.11) to work correctly after it just stopped functioning. I posted about my frustrations and got some great comments. The best advice came from Gail MacMillan. I wish I had some type of prize to give you - though this was not a contest.

Firefox just stopped running. I downloaded and reinstalled an earlier version (3.0.4) as well as the current upgrade (3.0.11) that was working before it let me down. Interestingly it still works on 2 other machines that I have.

So, I went back to IE 7 - it wasn't as horrible as I remembered, but within 5 minutes of opening a few windows I got a "runtime error" and everything went away. That was close - I could have lost some work.

Google Chrome was suggested, so I used it for a couple of days. Not bad actually - better than when it first came out several months ago. Still quirky.

Then today, Gail suggests firefox 3.5 beta. It works, I'm using it now, and it is so close in the size of the published material to IE that all is well.

Another success story in the annals of AR.

Calling All Firefox Experts

Last night firefox just went away. Oh, the desktop and quick launch icons were still there, but it wouldn't load. Click on - nothing - except that it was running in the background and not responsive. Deleted 3.0.11 (the version I had been using), except that I had to stop it in processes before it would let me continue with the uninstall.

I've redownloaded and reinstalled firefox 3.0.4 and 3.0.11 so many times Ive lost count. Only once - long enough for me to make one comment - did it load before it went non responsive.

Unless I can find a solution, It's back to IE 7 - where I am right now. Already been kicked off once for "runtime error" - whatever that is. And oh, IE is sooooooooooo slow.

Any ideas? I've done the defrag, msconfig, and all the other stuff that I could think of.
