OT Firefox up date - now nothing will load.

Firefox updated (automatically, I hate that) and now I'm getting
'problem loading page' for everything I try. I'm using XP which
updated yesterday but everything was working fine up until a few
minutes ago when I opened the browser and it updated.

My net connection is fine, I've got news and email, firefox is ticked
as allowed in the firewall settings - what next? Of course my usual
solution of googling for the answer doesn't sodding work without
access to google.

 

In keeping with UKRM tradition: Chrome.

I saw this somewhere else, I think it ticks use proxy server by default.

 

don't you have Internet Explorer lurking in the background?

I suggest you delete FF from add/remove programs and do a fresh install

BTW, my FF updated last night and it is fine, v3.6.6

 

Would be my first port of call.

My first thought was 'Sod it I'll download chrome' - then I worked it
out...

 

That stopped working ages ago and I never bothered to work out why.

From what though? I can't get on the net to get an exe

<flicks vees>

 

Setting changed within firefox, now working, thank you.

<hugs internet>

 

Firefox woes.

And thanks here as well.

 

Ha! Downloaded chrome, same problem and the 'under the bonnet' bit is
no help with getting it to change net settings - back to firefox it
is.

 

<reaches for straight bat>

I don't use no steeekin windows.

 

Always a pleasure.

Well, turn the feature off then.
