Firefox won't Open today: Anyone else having problems?
Posted on 04/07/2005 5:20:26 AM PDT by Timeout
I've been using Firefox, trouble-free, for about 8 months. Suddenly today I can't open it. I've run my anti virus programs.
Last night a Yahoo tool somehow hijacked my search engine. When I would search on Google, the results came up with this Yahoo tool. I can't open FF to get the name, but it's icon is "CC" enclosed in a circle. Might this have something to do with the problems I'm now encountering?
Anyone else having problems this morning?

It's getting better, but still a few problems.

BTW, you can remove those search engine plugins by going to
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins
and deleting the .png and .src files for a plugin. YMMV on the exact path.

I recommend checking FREQUENTLY for spyware, adware and viruses.
Hijackthis is great. I also use Adaware and a few others.
Since using Firefox - my #s of infections has decreased enormously! But, that may change at any time.
