SiMoNsAyS Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 had a similar problem when upgrading from 0.9.3 to 1.0PR. the values you want are stored in the registry (i guess), reinstall/uninstall didn't work for me.you can try to run "firefox.exe /p" that would show the profile manager so try to create a new profile from there (no instances of firefox must be running). if that didn't solve the problem you'll need to deep search the reg.
TomcaT Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 Get IE6 you won't get any problems like that I can feel the flames now!
CoffeeFiend Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 Get IE6 you won't get any problems like that I can feel the flames now! Yep, instead you'll have twice as many bugs - that can't be fixed by reinstalling (not like there is an option to uninstall IE either unfortunately). And you'll also have nice spyware and other scum on your PC. How nice? That was like the stupidest thing I had read here for a while.

IE6.... people still use that? newest Bug cameout for IE6.. all i have to do is put <TakeOverComputer> in a webpage and i can control your computer@SiMoNsAySThanks i'll try that now. if i do find it in the registry i'll post it up here for future refrences@TomcaT here ya go read about this new flaw in IE... its a flaw with Jpeg image files that allow a "malicious coder" to install a trojan horse on your computer just by you opening a picture... hows that for flawed?CNET Windows Jpeg FlawHowever... Windows SP2 isn't vulnerable to the flaw.... I personally hate SP2... and will not be installing it cause of a flaw in windows... My Webcam and some of my programs don't work under SP2 so i'm sticking with SP1.
Synapse Posted November 14, 2004 Author Posted November 14, 2004 hmm..... simple solution...uninstall FireFoxReinstall FireFox*another feature of Firefox.. if it breaks just uninstall and reinstall and it works perfect again..i'd like to see any Internet Explorer user do that...*
