Firefox 2.0's being a *#@$%

Post by ryusenka »

I'm having big problems with Firefox 2.0. When I installed it it worked perfectly fine, but then it froze up on me this one time and whenever I try to start it up again I get this lil box.

When I click on either on of them the browser never opens up. I've tried changing my firewall, but it doesn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled more times than I can count, and I've restarted my computer I probably more than that. It still doesn't come up. I don't know what to do.

It has a lot to do with your plugins/addons and extensions. There should be something akin to a Firefox (Safe Mode) or something similar that loads firefox without all the fancy extensions.

A lot of problems in firefox recently has been the influx of shit extensions that gobble up memory and cpu time and often times just flat out kills firefox.

Sorry I don't have any step-by-step instructions, best bet would be to drill down through firefox settings and start removing plugins and extensions.

just unistall and remove all plugins then reinstall. Be surprised at how that works.

I solved the problem, too much goddamn extensions. Safe mode worked, thanks psi.
