It'll hang upon opening sometimes as it tries to fetch the homepage, forcing me to end task it and sometimes I'll click links and it just won't load them.

I've already reinstalled, and that didn't work...

Ideas? I'm assuming something is broken, but the reinstall should've fixed it...

Are you using 1.0.1? Other than that, you're on your own, as both of those problems are common problems (I've had them both happen on prior partitions and formats), but I've never seen any true fixes. I'm guessing the code is just really picky and cluttered when you get to the root of it.

I'm using 1.0.1, but this just started happening out of nowhere.

Try uninstalling, removing this directory, and then reinstalling:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla

You may want to save your bookmarks first, i think it's this file:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\emjcqyqg.default\bookmarks.html

Try Opera.

Yes now that I use Opera I am becoming the Opera whore on this forum.....just kidding, only this once. It's a great browser though, IMO it can certainly compete with firefox.

1.0.1 is starting to irritate me. It keeps suddenly deciding to go into "edit" mode when I click on the screen, putting a flashing cursor on the text like the kind when you're in MS word or typing in one of these edit boxes. So when I try to scroll down with the Down key, it goes to the next line of text.

Never encountered any problems of the sort in Firefox, touch wood.

But not wanting to start another thread, and while I'm here, what's a good download extension for images that filenames go up in increments? I tried that magpie thing with its bulkster protocol thing and it didn't work. :lol

Or was I doing something wrong?

I got rid of Bugfox, to many things was going wrong with it.

I wait with baited breath to learn what you installed in its place

Try All in One gestures. There's a couple of gestures that can be used to increase or decrease the increment in an URL. i set them to up and down strokes respectively. There's also gestures to undo closing tabs and windows, which are great.

Ironically enough, my computer locked up (it's been doing that recently), and i "lost" all of my Firefox settings, and a few other open programs that normally have no problem after a crash had open files corrupted. i'm in the process of restoring things now.

And downloading Opera's not a bad idea. It's a great browser with more functionality than Firefox out-of-the-box and it's quite fast. Since i've been without my Firefox extensions, i've been using Opera off and on as a more secure and functional alternative to IE, which only sees light for Windows Update and the odd site that doesn't like any non-IE browser.

My breath HAS been baited thanks. Its why my dog snoopy keeps trying to lick me in the mouth.
