| Too old to run, too mean to quit! |
I have been using firefox for a long time. Suddenly a while back it came up with some "security" problem message and will not run. Tried several times to download a new copy, still no help. I am currently using Chrome, but do not care all that much for it. Internet Explorer comes up with several pages of crap, every time I start it, not to mention a crap load of advertisements, and takes forever to do any kind of search. Any thoughts on why Firefox will not run? Any help, greatly appreciated.

I use Firefox with little or no difficulty. I think the current version is 54.0.1 You may have some crap on your computer. Have you recently run a scan with Microsoft Essentials? "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Do not recall ever hearing of it. Will check into it. Thanks Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

Are you still using XP? Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit.

Even if you uninstall Firefox your profile remains on the machine. When you reinstall Firefox it picks up your old profile and all your settings. You should try to run the Firefox profile manager and either setup a new profile or delete your old one altogether. Then you will be starting from scratch with Firefox. Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles | |||

1. Run Malware Bytes 2. Reset your browsers and delete all cache. 3. Make sure the latest updates are run on the OS 4. Uninstall then reinstall Firefox if you have to. | |||

Firefox has been squirrely for a couple of months now. The last update helped, but we're not out of the woods yet. I have issues with some damn script hanging up certain web pages. Hope they fix it soon. Its my go to browser.

Downloaded it, ran quick scan on it. Detected no problems. Decided to run full scan, which will probably take quite a while. We will see. Thanks, for the tip.

My computer is old and uses Windows Vista. I started having problems with Firefox, to include photos and other things not working properly. I deleted Firefox and have been using Maxthon 5 instead. It seems to work very well. | |||

I recently had the same problem. https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...670009624#7670009624 I hadn't paid attention, I had the 64 bit version. Reinstalls didn't work but those were 32 bit. Sadly I didn't include a link to the 64 bit FF, it wasn't that easy to find. Give that a try, it sounds like we suffered the exact same problem. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

In the meantime go to the Chrome extension store and download and activate Ad block: https://chrome.google.com/webs...namgkkbiglidom?hl=en There are many useful extensions for Chrome that will help the experience. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||
