The great Firefox cure-all

Earlier today, this guy on a mailing list complained about a problem with the new Firefox. Here's my reply. Feel free to cut and paste it when others you know have Firefox problems.

The standard advice re: something wrong with Firefox applies here: create a
clean profile and use that. If you're still having problems, then you need to
uninstall the whole furshlugginer thing & start over. If problems stop, then
you have extension/config issues. You'll need to reinstall extensions, copy
over bookmarks, and so on.

This is a good explanation of how to create a fresh profile:

Also, my book, Don't Click on the Blue E!: Switching to Firefox, covers this
in depth. It's available online and in the finer bookstores, and I'd sure
appreciate it if you bought a copy. :)

Try creating a new profile. Betcha a million bucks that fixes things.
