Is anyone else having Firefox problems?
This seems to be an on and off problem for the last couple of weeks.
Firefox will just stop loading pages (any page). I just had it happen twice in an hour. IE seems to work fine. Shutting FF and restarting it solves the problem.
That's on a FF version that updated today (I think):
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Using Vista Ultimate btw.

Re: Is anyone else having Firefox problems?
Yep, I updated to 2.0.0.14 and had exactly the same problems. I checked the support forums and there didn't seem to be any help in solving it.
Best I can suggest is to try deleting Firefox entirely from your Firewall rulebase (just in case the changed executable hasn't quite been recognised) and then have a go at using it again and let your firewall sort itself out.
If that's no good then it obviously isn't the firewall.
I've actually updated to the version 3 beta now and it seems stable enough (and I'm not getting pages failing to load either).

Re: Is anyone else having Firefox problems?
Seen that, but it didn't help with the issues I was having 
Like I say, all seems ok now I've changed the version of FF though

Actually, it's way ahead of IE, and always will be.
But, i see where you're coming from, i tried using it a while back, found it too bloated, got rid... Then a few months later tried it again, never looked back.
Fx did Tabbed browsing before IE, is more web standard compliant than IE, blah blah...

Re: Is anyone else having Firefox problems?
And Opera did it before FF 
Got FireFox installed, and it seems OK in XP, it's the latest version.
I just got so used to using Opera I can't be bothered switching. It is still faster than any of them. I do use FF at work, for some reason Opera hates the network we have and nothing will work in it, and it has been working fine all week, again, in XP. |

Re: Is anyone else having Firefox problems?
Yup just randomly stopped loading pages.  Restarted FF seems to cure it. |
