Firefox won't go beyond one page. When I launch it, I can go to whatever site I want. Then I can click to one page and that's it -- no more.

I have tried the following:

Uninstalled and reinstalled FF (no change)
Ran Ad-Aware (found nothing)
Ran NOD32 (found nothing)
Disabled CA Personal Firewall (no change)

Ideas?

This is driving me absolutely crazy.

XP SP3
FF 3.0.1

Also have IE 7, which works fine.

I see nothing at Tools>Options that could be the cause. Maybe you can see an error at Tools>Error Console.

I just have a bunch of errors all relating to MySpace pages, mostly "Unknown property 'WORD-WRAP'. Declaration dropped."

Correction: They are actually listed as Warnings (yellow !) and not Errors (red X).

Backup your bookmarks
uninstall
then goto the installed directory and completely delete it
then goto registry and delete all entries pertaining to mozilla/firefox
reboot
reinstall
see if that helps

What about all my settings and info like saved IDs and passwords, suggested links, history, etc.?

EDIT: I found this
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox

This article provides a standard set of steps to follow if Firefox is no longer working properly, and offers solutions that will preserve your user profile data (bookmarks, passwords, history, preference settings, etc.) as far as possible.

There's a lot there but I'll see what is doable.

Whenever I try to go to any website or click on a link, the page stops loading. The status bar does not go anywhere and then i try clicking the link again because sometimes that works but most of the time, it just says "stopped" in the bottom left hand corner of the frame. This happens randomly and frequently and started acting up randomly too. Just one day it just "stopped" working. It goes away for a few page-loads after closing Firefox and re-running it.

That's me!

...and I have DownThemAll, which is one of the culprits on a very long list.

May cause web browsing to slow to a halt to the point that nothing loads.

Important: DownThemAll 1.0 changes certain "network.http" preferences that will need to be reset, even if you disable or uninstall the extension.

Solution is:

Update to version 1.0.1 and reset these preferences via about:config:

* network.http.max-connections
* network.http.max-connections-per-server
* network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy
* network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server

However, I already have 1.0.3.

So...

If updating DownThemAll to version 1.0.2 or later does not resolve the issue, disable or uninstall the extension.

Grrr.

==================

EDIT: Disabling DTA did not fix it.

===================

EDIT: I disabled all my extensions one by one and no fix.

I found several procedures for a Profile Backup which retains all settings, bookmarks, extensions, themes, etc.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup

Third party utility Mozilla recommends:

http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/

Does automatic FF Profile backup in 3 steps, can choose whatever you want backed up. Restores also.

=========================

EDIT: Installed MozBackup, backed up Profile to external HDD, and did:

Some Firefox issues can be resolved by downloading a new Firefox installer from Mozilla.com and then closing Firefox, deleting the Firefox installation directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox on Windows) and reinstalling Firefox.

...and it's working! (so far...)

=========================

EDIT: NOW I CAN'T GET WINDOWS TO START! I rebooted and it's stuck on "Windows is starting up..."

Starting new thread.
