    Google Pack blocks Firefox
    « on: August 01, 2008, 09:46:12 PM »
    I installed the 'google pack'  and now i can't get Firefox to launch. I'm using Windows XP on an emachines with 80GB and 52MB space.  I get an error that says  External Protocol Request  "An external application must be launched to handle http: links, then it lists whatever link I might try from firefox, then it lists the application: Firefox  It gives me the choice to launch or cancel, if I choose launch I get the same thing again, If I choose cancel, I get an 'Untitled' screen. I'd like to use my firefox when I want use a book mark because I have a hundred or so bookmarks from years of use.  Is there a fix?  If not how do I get rid of the google pack and get back to Firefox?

    What happens when you uninstall Google Pack?

    Google add-ons are known for making trouble.

      If these #'s are accurate that machine is going to struggle to run properly...
      Windows especially XP needs approx. 15% Free drive space to run efficiently.
