Filipp0s,

On the very first page and your starting post please update the v1.0.6 to v1.0.7 because some new users have said they were here looking for help and thought the thread only dealt with v1.0.6.

Thank you

I have gone thru the FAQ's but have missed solutions to my problem although I am sure it has been experienced by others before. Anyway my problem: I have been useing Foxfire for some time and have experienced this problem before but can;t remember the correction procedure. My problem: I occassionally lose my Bookmarks. I know they are not lost only misplaced. They are still in I Explorer, however, I would like to move them cleanly to Firefox.
Hints and tips please.

Thanks.

Why 1.0.6 and not 7? What versions have you had?

Yes. Get Firefox from www.mozilla.org , not some shady operator.

1.0.6 is the first release of Firefox that causes crashes (java-related). It happens on certain sites. It happens way too often. Yes, I tried the clean install as well. Guru3d is one of the sites that randomly crashes Firefox.

I should have added that this happens with 1.0.7 as well.

That kinda says it, ive looked through the entire forum, deleted the files suggested and yet, NOTHING.
The browser works just fine, however using irc and nothing having the browser started i get the error when clicking an url.
Im puzzled, since ive done everything the forum suggests and still doesnt work.

fel is not firefox. Time to Dance the Security Tango (Don't forget, if you skip a step doing the Tango, you are just moving, not Dancing.)

You've got some spyware or something on your machine.

I think we're done with 1.0.6 install guidelines, eh?
