mozilla firefox problems

pnolan

hi,

can anyone help me and explain why

1) my bookmarks keep disappearing
2) my homepage keeps changing
#) it won't allow me to cut and paste

I have already cleaned it for spyware and viruses. it's not that.
it's just something about mozilla firefox, I can't figure out

anybody else come across this before?

any good suggestions would be apprecaited

thanks

Pnolan

this may seem the obvious response
but

have you tried uninstalling it?

my apologies for stating the obvious but sometimes a reinstall can solve a problem instantly

what i usually do if im uninstalling a program and wanna be rid of it completely is i uninstall it through control panel then i actually go into my program files folder and actually delete the program folder for that program

your path will most likely be c:\program files\mozilla firefox

i would uninstall and then delete that folder then try to install it from fresh

BY NO STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION AM I A COMPUTER GENIUS SO DONT TAKE WHAT I SAY AS GOSPEL!

but this process has worked for me with regards to troubleshooting programs

also, even though mozilla is supposed to be the best defense against spyware and adware, i would strongly suggest you install the following cocktail of anti-spyware/adware programs

they do wonders for keeping your browsing clean and safe

spybot search and destroy
ad-aware se
hijackthis

the first two will find and remove problems
the third will help to give you a log which you can post in the security forum on short-media if necessary
this log will help the nice ppl at short-media to determine wether or not you have a spyware related problem that is affecting your browsing

hope this helps!

you know what

i really didnt read your post properly!

so please disregard my spyware/ad-ware lecture:rolleyes2

but even so i suggest you post up a hijackthis log in the security forum if you havent already done so

also have you got the latest version?
