I updated my browser Firefox [or is foxfire?], and now it will not connect to the internet.

I am using Explorer and it stresses me to the limit, I could clean the house, while it changes pages.

So if I disappear, you will know why ....

I don’t know enough about computers to uninstall the uploaded material.

granny I HATE Updates.. more often than not they stink in my opinion..

There are a few processes you could perform but I would never want to suggest something that would make your system puke. I run firefox 3.0.4 and explorer 6 so that tells how much I despise change (little humor there)

hopefully some other suggestions will be posted

you could remove firefox , reinstall firefox or if you have the famous xp system restore and it's active, you could restore your system back to the day before firefox was updated. ..

If you have someone you TRUST with a broadband connection they can do a logmein remote control, but if they are not familiar with that then by all means forget it..

again I would not act on anything I suggested until some other suggestions are posted....

a slow connection is better than none and we don't want you to disappear..

prayers as always.

Good luck, Granny!

If you manage to get back on, there are alot of computer savvy folks at FR (I’m not among them, LOL) who could walk you through how to uninstall the problem program.

I use Chrome from Google. It’s pretty easy to use, it has tabs, and it seems fast. You can shut it down and when you start it up again it remembers all the pages you had. I think Firefox does that too but maybe Chrome would connect to the internet. Keep trying Granny we need you!
