what is up with firefox?

[EEVIAC]

Well that worked with no problems...   How is Firefox "safe mode" different than regular mode?

[EEVIAC]

However, the strange thing is, that "ping" gives you an error and you say IE has no problem...

PING only gave me an error when I did:

PING www.mozilla.com


I get replys back if I ping other sites...

That means, some add-on is playing games with you.
Restart FF in normal mode, disable all add-ons, restart FF.
Keep enabling add-ons one-by-one, restarting FF each time until you'll find the culprit.

Main suspects - toolbars.

I see.
Always try google.com - the safest bet.

ah ha!    Will give this a test run                   thx sir 

[EEVIAC]

wait a sec...    I don't use any add-ons in FF, I just realized that.... At least, I don't see any that are enabled?

Are you talking about Plug-ins  ?

[Broni]

No, no plug-ins....
Safe Mode is a debugging startup mode where all added extensions are disabled, the default theme is used, and default localstore settings (localstore.rdf stores customized data on the interface, such as toolbar customizations, window positions and sizes, and tree sort orders) are used.

Be patient. It'll take few minutes.
When the tool is done, it'll display:

Press any key to coninue...

Press any key.
Notepad window titled Rapport-FS.txt will open.
Save the file to known location, and attach it to your next reply.

Close FF.
Go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions and delete {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} folder.
See, if it helps.

[EEVIAC]

I'll do that and try it out for a few days....and post back

thx sir
