Hun.....I am not Harry and I don't have a lot of junk on here. BUT, I
do happen to prefer Firefox over IE and want it back working properly
again. I run a lean machine......other than a bunch of mp3's, LOL. I
don't even have enough anti-malware on here according to some of the
paranoid types I know. But I don't venture to places where it might be
lurking.....and I don't get malware, period.

I have been using IE6 and it is OK, but there are some things that
Firefox just does better and it is not a virus magnet. Yet.

Heather, being a 'simple soul' and unlike Harry, I try to keep to the
bare minimum 'essentials' on my machines g I don't, and never have,
used Firefox, I have always used IE which has never given me any
particular hassle.

... Am about to uninstall and reinstall it. Any thoughts?

What about just 'uninstalling' it only. And (re)learn to live with IE.
It's not that bad. Fit for purpose! - a 'new' phrase going around the
UK at present (or not!!)

Bell's, Whistle's, who needs them? Self inflicted misery perhaps?
Ah! but we're back to Harry's problems again.

Perfect lead in......I have a problem with Firefox and have looked on
the Forum and tried some of the troubleshooting things (safe mode,
etc)....but it keeps hanging on me since that last update to 5.0.3.
Am about to uninstall and reinstall it. Any thoughts?

Would removing my 2 extensions and 4 themes perhaps help?? Just have
IEView and Foxytunes. I would like to get it working properly before
I set up the router again (groan!!).

Cheers...Heather

Hi, Mart,

Thanks for the heads up. I recall the partitioning issue from
many months ago. I didn't realize it was that long ago.

It sounded in Harry's response though that he had entered the
"partition zone" again. If so, it seemed that it might identify a
potential cause of the current issue. I certainly don't want to
revisit territory that's already been well charted.
