I'm Not Lovin' Firefox Right Now
Ok - I am the first to admit I'm not the most sauvy when it comes to these new fangdangled computer systems. I was an IE girl for ever. Then, I was brought into the light and switched to Firefox. Now? Now I'm kinda used to it.
So you can imagine my dispair when it did an auto update and now it won't read my internet. When I got home Friday night I thought for what ever reason my entire system was down. Couldn't get on line at all. Then I saw where gmail was working so I tried getting on with IE, and voila, connection.
So - I reinstalled the old firefox. Everything was fine yesterday. Until it did that flippin' auto update again. Now? I'm back working in IE and kinda frustrated.
Is there an EASY (keyword there folks) fix for this? Is there something I need to do to configure my system correctly with the update? If there is please share. Now - I'm gonna need a step by step sorta thing, but it's like following a recipe. You tell me what I need to do, and I'll do it.
Mean while - this kinda bites........

When you first installed Firefox did you have to
give it permission to access the internet?(firewall
of some sort??). If that doesn't help you can
reinstall the older version & turn off the auto
update. Tools, Options, Advanced, Updates...
Thanks for writing your blog!

Posted by: Sine Nomine at November 13, 2006 06:58 AMDid the 'auto' update take you up to the new 2.0 from 1.5? Mine didn't 'auto' that, I had to do it myself... just thinkin'. ;)
I'd uninstall -FIRST backing up your profile to save your bookmarks, etc. Good info on that is HERE: http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit#profile
[which I bet will be caught in the spam filter]
After you d/l and install FF2, paste in your saved profile.
I've had no problems with 2.0 on any of my machines. Hope this helps...
