A couple of days ago I upgraded to v. 1.0.7, and an hour ago suddenly Firefox stopped working.
Now when I try to load a new page nothing happens ("page 'x' not found"), only IE works, but as soon as I try to launch Firefox again then IE stops working as well (server not found).
I did not change any firewall options, did not change anything, simply Firefox stopped working.
Please help me, IE sucks but what else should I use if Firefox doesn't work???
Thanks for your help.
My OS is WinXP Home Edition 2002, SP2...

have you check for a virus or spyware problem? .... using firefox will not effect your use of IE
