OT: Fire Fox Crashing

Atrocities · #1 January 16th, 2006, 11:13 PM

Following the latest MS updates for XP, I have noticed that both spy bot, an anti adware/spyware/malware/ program, and Fire Fox, a web browswer, have been having a lot of problems.

These problems were not present until recently, following the latest update from MS for XP.

Any one else having issues?

No problems here.

Both my wife and I are on firefox 1.5, update Windows XP Pro as needed, no problems.

Have you done a sweep for virii?

My system is clean. NO viruses. It could be a conflict with a script in Fire Fox, and MS has posted info about the SpyBot problem on one of their trouble shooting web pages.

I'm clean too and Firefox is fine. I never use IE, so when I update I never update IE. Wouldn't surprise me if MS slipped in some trouble that way.

You know the one thing that I really hate about Microsoft is taht when you want to update windows, you have to use IE, you can't use any other browser, which can be really annoying at times.

That's not true, I've gone through windows update with Firefox.

How, Kwok? Never worked for me...

There are sites out there that let you perform Windows Update in Firefox via proxy, but you can't use Windows Update proper except in IE...
