Okay, so Firefox tried to download an update the other day, and then this morning just stopped working entirely. IE works fine. But I've uninstalled, re-downloaded, and re-installed Firefox, and it continues to just not work atall.
ETA: by "not work" I mean--cannot load any webpages. Tries and tries and tries and I don't even get the Firefox "I can't load this" page. Just hangs.
Anyone got any suggestions?
I miss my tabs!
did you try creating a new profile?
I have no advice Connie. I just downloaded Firefox today and am still learning how it works. Are there any of the add ons that are MUSTS?
A new profile in Firefox?
SuziQ--Session Saver is great: it reloads all the windows you left open when you last used it.
Ooooh, I like the sound of that (Session Saver). Will look for that.
Okay now it's working.
But I have no idea why.
And now it's stopped again.
Argh!
Firefox blew out my profile recently and had me start all over with a new default profile before it would load pages again.
But, frankly, I don't know how or why. And I am still kinda annoyed with it for that little trick. Which makes this a rather useless post for Tech.
I don't think I set-up a profile. Is this something I need to do, or does it just "happen".
A default profile is created for you the first time you start up Firefox. Here's some info on managing profiles.
