GreaseMonkey is a thorn in my side.

Crazy .. I suppose the only way to fix that is to format the computer, you can use Mozilla Weave to keep the passwords and everything stored.

Why do people have issues with Firefox? Mine never does! IE does though *evil laugh* try using Safari or Opera then?

Back your data and format, I do it every 2 months your computer runs 5 times faster.

And I agree use Google Chrome over Internet Explorer, IE is the bane of the internet..

Google Chrome is just based on an earlier version of IE, with all the old vulnerabilities intact. They did little more to it than to combine it with the Google Toolbar's features. It's the last thing you should be using.

The latest version of Opera is pretty advanced and has some pretty inovative features, but it's too new to know anything about its vulnerabilities yet.

Chrome is not based on an earlier version of IE, you may have gotten that from designers saying it's a new frustrating version of IE 6 http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009...web-designers/

And Chrome is not a browser of choice for online shopping. As it still doesn't do https: (Secure connection protocol) very well.

For regular everyday use however it's fast. IE 7 is ok, but whatever you do stay away from IE 6.

What's wrong with IE6? At least it worked.

I kind of like Chrome, but I need my FF plugins to browse effectively. Although I do miss the shortcuts and search options.

Anyway, back on topic. I had the same problem, then I updated to 3.5 or whatever, and now it works. Didn't see you mention what version of FF you're using, so if it's 3.1 or something might want to try updating. If you did, which I can imagine, well, then im out of ideas.

IE 6 is a Web Developers Nightmare, Internet Explorer 6 did not follow any standards at all, (Microsoft essentialy created their own).
see:

IE 7 is ok from a web developers standpoint.

At least Firefox works, and it follows standards, and it has a million extensions.

Your right Firefox plugins are what make firefox great that and it has almost a 500% increase in speed (it's 919% faster than IE 6).
