Re: ¡What`s up with firefox?

[Gryllida]

1) try safe mode

2) try new profile

here is some reference:

Safe Mode (in supported Mozilla applications) is a good way to see if
an add-on, theme or something else is causing a problem. Please see:
http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode  (Firefox)



A profile stores your settings, extensions, application data,
bookmarks, email, and so on. More information at
http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles  (Firefox)

The Profile Manager allows you to create/delete/switch profiles.
Firefox: http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles  - Quit
Firefox before using Profile Manager.
