Firefox won't respond!
Everytime I load up firefox it freezes halfway loading up Google (homepage). I get NO error message and it doesn't, not even left overnight, respond! In task manager it says it uses 40,000/45,000 K before it stops! I have tried safe-mode and reinstalling.

Re: Firefox won't respond!
When you reinstalled, did you first delete the application directory or did you install over the old?
Did you also delete the profile folder and let the reinstallation create a new one?

Re: Firefox won't respond!
Ok, I can load ANY website EXCEPT Google! It's just a bit slow. Have any help with that?
EDIT: Google even works!
Problem solved, I guess!

Re: Firefox won't respond!
This is WRONG! I can visit ANY website, as stated before, BUT Google cannot be the first website I visit. I changed my homepage, it worked. But NOW I can't view google.

As Dan indicated... if you just re-installed over your old Firefox and/or uninstalled it but did not also remove the profile it's still there along with any problems within it...

From a prior post from Dan Raisch (with minor changes) ...
Clear the browser cache (Tools->Clear Private Data->select cache->click on "Clear Private Data Now" button).
(If using Firefox 3.5.(or above) use menu path Tools->Options->Advanced->Network tab->click on "Clear Now" button.)
Delete any cookies relating to the site(s) involved (Tools->Options->Privacy->Show Cookies button).

Re: Firefox won't respond!
I fixed it myself.
P.S. Thank you dfoulkes, I couldn't figure out how to clear my cache with Firefox 3.6.8
