OK, I re-installed it, and it's not working for some reason. I am scanning to see if, by chance, I have a virus...but I highly doubt. When I open the app, it says "Program not responding". Any guesses at what could be happening?

    after you uninstall it, make sure to delete any trace of firefox, the reboot, and try installing again. thats all I can think of besides maybe installing an older version, see if that works and then upgrade.

    just out of interest, for anyone running firefox on win XP, did the last update (2.0.0.7) a few days ago, seriously impact the speed on which pages load?



    For instance, when coming to the AI forums, while the text loads really quick, the side graphics ie topic icons seem to load slowly, I can watch them appear in sequence down the page, something that didn't happen until the update.



    Its not just AI that does this, the realbasic forums suddenly got frustratingly slow.



    It would appear that my connection is real slow, but I checked this and its OK, then I tested AI in safari, and it loads real quick, as does the realbasic forum- as im used too.



    is firefox borked?
