I think I'm going to have to completely remove and reinstall Mozilla Firefox. Before, it suddenly stopped running apps in Facebook. Then, it worked fine for one day, yesterday, it suddenly went wonky and will only open websites in safe mode and I can't seem to fix it and make it load properly. As a result, I can't really do anything in it. I've had to get all my favorite sites set up in Explorer so I can do stuff online.

word of the wise ... make sure internet explorer is still on your computer and is able to function properly. I learned the hard way and found that a computer cannot run without internet explorer or an internet in general.

Just as a note about IE, you don't have to keep it up and running. If firefox dies and you need to revert back to IE to fix things, just go to your windows components and reinstall IE. It is never really gone from your computer, even though some of us would like to do that at times.

I've had that happen before - just, when you uninstall Firefox be sure to find all other files and delete those as well. Try to export your favorites as an html first, so you don't lose them. Then delete the program files folder for Mozilla Firefox, go into local applications and delete the file for mozilla firefox as well. Not everything uninstalls so you can still have left over's that might cause problems.
