    Ok, firefox isn't working for me right now. Whenever I open the window, it shows a blank page (like when your computer freezes) and goes "Not Responding"...

    I even try restarting my computer, uninstalling, reinstalling. No help... ?
    Any ideas? I don't think its a virus, it was working fine before and an hour later it started to do this. Everything else on my computer seems to work fine, Im using IE right now.

    Any ideas on how to fix it?

    Are your Connection Settings in the general tab of your Option menu still set up correctly?

    I would guess it might have something to do with your user profile. When the profile gets corrupted reinstalling won't help.

    Here's how to create a new one:
    http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile#new

    Make sure your profile.ini (should be in %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\) is pointed to the right place. You should be able to just create a new blank one and start fresh and then import your bookmarks and prefs later by just moving them to the new folder.

    Mozilla Never gives any problem to me.

    Only 1 thing -

    I thought to ask every body this thing but found this thread.

    So do anyone else find problem like me?

    Your bookmarks and prefs are all located in the profile folder, so they should still be able to be recovered so long as you have not deleted it...

    There are actually a couple things you can do:

    1. You can try to import them from inside the program (this is useful for when you've made recent backups) That's if you have a bookmarks.html file, I think.

    2. You can just cut-and-paste from the old profile folder into the new one. If it doesn't fix it, you should be able to just revert the changes and it'll work again. And you can always start in Safe Mode, also.

    3. You can use del.icio.us from now on and ignore that there is even an option for bookmarks (there is little reason not to use del.icio.us now that they also offer "private" bookmarks)
