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.

Thank you for the infor on the computer, I will give it a thought, I don’t know enough about the inside working to play too much with it.

I have spent hours on it already.

Good advice and I am thankful, I will try to figure out the restore part, as I have heard of doing that.

Thank you for the prayers, I just posted a letter from Dela where.

Thank you Eagle for giving me the go ahead, LOL, some place I found the restore file and I did it and here I am.

I did go to Firefox and it has the instructions to get around the firewall, which is what I expected to hear, but they are too involved for me tonight.

LOL, I did disable the automatic download for Firefox, so it won’t I hope, happen again tomorrow or next week.

I had forgotten how often the explorer has a fatal flaw and shuts down, until I had a bunch of stuff open and it died.

Thank you for your help/suggestion.
