Is Firefox Not Working For You? - it hasn't worked for me the past 4 times

So I download Firefox. The free version. I get all of it installed. For some reason it just doesn't work on my computer.

I have XP
I have the Service Pack #2

Is anyone else having an issue using it?

Well basically I am dling it from the getfirefox.com site. The free version. And so it installs and everything seems to be going well. But when I click on the desktop icon or even go to the folder and click on the .exe, nothing happens. No browser comes up, absolutely nothing.

Thats very odd, i ahve ever experienced an error like that for a browser. though it may have happened because the download was corrupt. Was it from the official site? I fnot try that and if that does work i dont know what to suggest

hm.......that's odd. You should try to reinstall it and if that doesn't work contact mozilla support or go on the support forums on their site. That is not happening to others so there is either something wrong with ur version (highly improbable since you got it at the same place as others) or your windows. Try compatability manager and set it to windows 2000. Any ways if that doesn't work try contacting them and tell us how you solved the problem.

First of all, a tiny reminder, there is nothing such as a free version, the whole was/is/and always shall be free! smile.gif

I would check if your computer is clean of viruses, adware, spyware etc... use Spybot from download.com and something like F-Prot or AVG for virus checking. They are all freeware.

Go to Start->Run and type msconfig and go to the startup tab.

From there I would remove all the entries which look suspicious. However be careful, some of those are needed for your programs to run properly. Check the Command column and if it points to some program directory that you know you have installed leave the entry. Suspicious entries are like: webrebates.exe, chicbash etc...

Next do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and start the Task Manager. If you see a firefox entry in the processes tab select it and hit end process.

Restart

Try running firefox again, better yet, do the above before installing firefox and then install and run it.

I will try to do all of those. If it does not work. I'll be contacting them and see what I can do. Bt other then that, I can't say that I like firefox. I'll even try to dl mozilla first and then upgrade to firefox.

One question, I am using CSS with XML and Firefox does not seem to render it correctly, while IE does. How is Firefox's support for stylesheets different from IE?
Firefox supports stylesheets following web standards, whereas IE support has hudge bugs.

    problems using tables in my website. For example FireFox adds 3-4 pixels to my table width where IE

  10. How Many Times Do You Reinstall Windows In A Year

    see you in other post. Reinstalling windows is a daily chore for the students studying computers.
    They have to switch a lot of softwares, compilers etc etc. Windows as we know, will not tolerate a
    whole lot of (Un)installations and will ultimately slow down the whole system. This is not the case

    I was only recently made aware of the release of Firefox 3, having not been notified by Firefox, and
    problems with my internet connection that caused Trap17 and similar websites to slow to snails-pace,
    so I ended up missing the download day and haven't got it yet. The thing is though, I've
    been hearing a lot of negative press about it. I know that there was concern that Firefox would
    break Flash support a while ago, which was fixed, and I hear it's kind of restrictive as to
    downloading addons and junk. Now, I did actually test Firefox 3 Beta 5, and my only ....

    default interface is ugly. And no Home button, really ??? (ps. I kno i can drag it back from the
    bookmarks toolbar but still, its stupid). The address bar search thing. I liked the concept, but I
    am so used to the old way, this actually distracts me, I don't want to search my history

  16. Your Firefox Cache

    You can access your FireFox cache files by typing this "about:cache?device=disk" into your FF URL
    bar There is the cache directory will tell you the directory in which cache is stored, this is not
    IE and you'll not be able to browse by going to that directory, because its in encrypted form.
    If you want to browse your cache, you're in the page! The about:cache?device=disk is the
    disk cache page! browse around in here. This is completely different to what is temporary
    internet files in IE. Use the quick find function by pressing / (forward slash) an....
