I just recently updated to the latest version of Firefox, and now I can't even get it to open anymore.  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/01/awm2.gif I searched online to see if anyone else has had these problems, and I checked my firewalls and whatever and security settings, .... long story short, I am still stumped.  :-\\ I haven't been on Firefox for a while, so I'm using RealPlayer as my browser.  :P

Can anybody please offer me soem advice? Thank you.  :)

why don't you uninstall it and run the older version? 

Didn't work.  :-\\ I went back and re-installed FF3 and checked my firewall settings, etc. Still not working. I double-click the icon, I push my Internet shortcut button on my keyboard, I run in safe-mode, I uninstall and re-install till the computer explodes, I lose my marbles  ::), nothing works.  :\'( I'm really frustrated right now and have no idea how to fix the problem, or even if it can be fixed.

This had never happened before until I downloaded this version. This never happened to me when they upgraded me to version 2.0, but it's happening now on version 3.0...? It was a good browser and I'm going to kind of miss it if I can't correct this problem.

If anybody else has any tips and tricks, feel free to reply. Thanks in advance.  :)

When I was having problems with my security settings,my son did something were he went back to a date when it was working fine and everything is fine now..I think he just went back in the history to do this,maybe this will work.

:o I tried ff3 but ran into problems as well........
It doesn't install in the Add/Remove programs file so after downloading FF3 another 3 times did I finally get it to GO AWAY!.......I went back to FF2.....

try reinstalling FF3 a few more times till you can get it into a file you can delete it....
as bad as Firefox 3 was it was still 10 times better than IE7
You may loose some bookmarks so keep a record of what you got..
IE is a Manic program that is stuffed full of bugs & spam...
Firefox doesn't allow the IE problems to take control of your system!
IE is like surfing with the Flinstones!


Why Firefox released version 3 without making it bulletproof is beyond me ...
From vista's point you can make money from updates so putting out a known bad program isn't such a bad thing.....But Firefox is free!??!(I think the designer of "new Coke" found a job at Firefox)

Try reinstalling it again & again till you can get a handle on a uninstall link!
It took me over a week to resolve my dilemma

I think you'll need a Firefox messageboard for troubleshooting.  I don't know enough about what the problem is from your description.  Which OS, what the computer is, how much memory, etc.

Does it just freeze, is the task still running? 

Oddly enough, I run all three browsers (Safari, Opera and Firefox) on this Mac, and while Safari and Opera have been running fine ever since I installed both of them (coming on to four years now for Safari...) Firefox has indeed stopped being functional. Quite strange.

I'm back to firefox 3 & it works OK..Cept know it looses the homepage & its a blank google start page with no links or bookmarks......so I just resart & everything goes back to normal till it looses its mind again!??
Hats off to firefox!
