Never remove anything from your harddrive or Mr Firefox will get screwed up. I removed about 76GB of movies and photos from my site after burning them on DVDs. Now firefox will crash every time I try to save a photo. After a defrag and re-install of firefox, it's still funky. I can't even go into the options menus because firefox is sensitive to clicks. Back to Mozill 173 again I guess..I hate shit that don't work properly.

Appreciate the Preparation H link, but didn't they test firefox for like ages before 1.0 was released? Must be something to do with the download part of the browser, which is slow as fuck in the first place. Back when it worked 2 days ago, when I'd save a picture, my comp would freeze for a few seconds when firefox saved and then kick back into gear. Mozilla 1.7.3 does that too, but it doesn't freeze and crash. What the fuck were they thinking with the download section anyway? I don't need a small window appearing telling me "ALL DOWNLOAD HAVE COMPLETED". Duh, really? About time too, freezing fuckety fuck. AAAARGH!!

Maybe there is a corrupt file where firefox keeps your profile.
Export your bookmarks somewhere SAFE then delete everything in C:\Documents and Settings\Paco\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.
Then restart firefox and it will recreate that directory with a new profile in it.
CLOSE firefox, copy (I said copy. COPY!!!) your bookmarks back to where there is a new smaller bookmarks.html file (overwrite it), then you should be fine.
Also check tools > options > downloads to turn off the download window.

Oh! And also type about:config in the address bar and hit enter, then scroll down to browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete and doubleclick true to change it to false. Voila, no "downloads have completed" bullshit in the notification area.

I used to have quite a few problems when I tried out Firefox so I stopped using it.
things like, logging out on xltronic and in NO way being able to log in while using Firefox.

well everyone that i know has done every possible thing to their computer on WINDOWS (i might add, b/c i assume you guys are using crap ass windows) and they have never encountered these odd problems. unless they have some really nasty spyware/adware or a virus. or corrupt dll files or something. just stop supporting windows for it's shit-ass service and change to another o/s. simple as that. sorry for being such an ass about this topic but i vehemently feel that nobody should support such a piece of shit system if they expect things to actually work. :)

Windows works for me, as I just use the computer to do work, rather than spend all day hacking at the OS in order to improve the framerates on some game or other.

generally I really don't have that much problems with Windows, so I don't see why I should go to the trouble, really.

well the assumption that it's either windows or *nix isn't really fair - what about mac? or wait, are you guys too cool for mac? :P
oh wait i see.. it's b/c you guys are playing games all day and need to live off windows in order to feed your waste-of-time hobbies ;)
JUST KIDDING...

Well I've moved many gbs of videos around on my computer and reinstalled windows over the top of itself and then copied my firefox preferences over from the documents and settings and still had no problem with Firefox. The only time I've had problems was from an extension which I then uninstalled and firefox was fine afterwards.

yeah man, it's your firefox profie. i has been corruped.
uninstalling and reinstalling the fox won't fix your profile. that's a big problem with firefox that they need to fix.
you gotta close firefox, delete the profile directory completely, then restart the program. that almost always fixes it.

I had problems with Firefox and the whole save-issue after i removed some folders too....reason: my standard download-folder in FireFox preferences was set to a folder that didn't exist anymore...
Try changing it if it's set to one of the folders you deleted
