Okay, I've uninstalled Firefox and uninstalled Microsoft Anti-Spyware (I've heard twice recently that it is incompatible with some things). I exported my Bookmarks and saved the file, and then deleted the Mozilla program folder. I also deleted the Mozilla folder from Local Settings.

Now I'm going to reinstall Firefox again.

Did you get Firefox working again?

I did! I ended up turning off the Norton Security firewall (I already have ZoneAlarm's firewall going) and that seemed to do the trick.

I would dearly love to know why they suddenly decided to be incompatible, but.

Still, I'm glad I'm at least halfway tech-savvy; because if I were not, I've have given up completely and gone back to IE.

Now I just have to reinstall my extensions. I understand Session Saver has problems and there's a newer extension that's better...

I use Tab Mix for session saving and it has worked very nicely.

Generally having two comparable software firewalls on at once on the same server or station will cause problems.

Consuela,

session saver fried Firefox for me. It seems like a great extension, but I am staying FAR away from it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If I just installed 2GB of RAM, but it's not showing up in the system profiler, what's the most likely thing I did wrong?

(I bought it from OWC, and on paper it definitely matches the specs of my machine. And it's listed on apple.com as a compatible brand, so that's clearly not the issue.)

[edit: Fixed this -- it just wasn't fully snapped into place. My thumbs hurt now.]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Does anyone here use Mozilla's Lightning? Apparently IT at the new job is really into Mozilla, but I need a calendar! And I'd really prefer to have my email and calendar together.

Tab Mix, Gud? that's good? Coolio.

No, but there are a lot of warnings and caveats from the developers here. Basically, it's a pre-production release at the moment.
