Firefox help?

I blame the heavy drinking

 

you will be fine until the next IE security fix comes along. i have often wondered if i would have any issues by not downloading the IE fixes.

i actually was doing that one on XP home box, but SO accidentally clicked on install recommended and IE was in and as we all know, never to be removed without a clean install (which only questionably removes it anyway), but did that for a few years and never had any issues that i was aware of.

now i am using Chrome on one, firefox on the other and am getting similar error messages with FF, but no apparent issues with capability or browsing sites. so who knows.

i have had the "new FF verison available a few times that i have installed "successfully?'

so who knows?

 

Glad to hear the problem was corrected. However, I would suggest that a Malware/Spyware scan be performed on the computer as a good precaution.

Considering I solve this stuff every day for my clients, don't under estimate a deep Malware/Spyware scan in the event of an issue (especially concerning IE).

Suggested programs to use:
1. Spybot S&D (Download Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6.1.41 Beta - FileHippo.com)
2. Malware Bytes "Anti-Malware" (Malwarebytes.org)
* - no need to pay for it, the free portion (scanning) is all you need.

Whatever these two programs find, 'Remove All'/'Fix All' - then restart.



Happy New Year all!

I've had about equal luck with both

 

My son fixed my computer on Christmas day, me being totally ignorant of the procedure. After repair he gave me these two warnings: " Don't use IE", Don't download anything! Happy New Year Andy

 

Get a Mac!

 

Updated Microsoft mantra - IE isn't done until Firefox won't run.

 

ya it sucks, i cannot access my pay stub or any other work benefit functions from home without IE... FF, safari, etc. not compatible... only IE works...

pathetic...purely pathetic, so it runs on a separate computer that normally only serves as file storage (1.2 Mhz celeron with 512MB..doesnt have enough power to do anything else)

 

A lot of my clients have similar picky issues. I even have a client who INSISTS I logon using a Cisco VPN client adapter! Oy!

Which is why have separate machines on my home office network, for separate clients. I realize I'm lucky this is all a writeoff for me

If you want a chuckle, visit the Blimp TV site and check out their funny thing about Vista. It's PG-13
