I can't download the google toolbar, installation error. I am running firefox 2.0.0.14
I am experiencing crashes, quite often. I have done everything I can think of short of uninstalling firefox, and reinstalling. I am on Windows xp Professional. Any help would be appreciated.

Sound like a rogue addbot, spybot or a trojan,
possibly a search engine hi-jack.

Allowing third party cookie tracking is dangerous,
this should be disabled, unless you really need it.

Also never enable scripts, except for web sites
you trust.

1) Scan your computer with:

AD-Aware
Adbot Search and Destroy
AVG antivirus

etc.

2) Uninstall Firefox (remove all user settings)
Download a fresh copy, latest version
Re-install it

3) Go to the Firefox Home page ---> add ons,
donload and install:

Netflix error code M7355-1203 keeps appearing and not sure how to solve it. Seems to be prevalent since downloading Norton anti-virus

According to Netflix, this is usually a browser problem. If it happened after installing Norton, then it might be that a Norton extension was added to your browser and that is causing the problem. You might be able to resolve it by looking under extensions and if there is a Norton related extension disable it and see if that fixes the problem. Netflix Playback Error M7355 1203

I can log onto facebook but cant get my profile page or messages. This has happened after my pc crashed and everything had to reinstalled. Have I changed some setting? any ideas? Email:...

Make sure you're using the latest version of your web browser. Try turning off any ad blocking or noscripting addons or extensions you may have on. Try using a different browser like Google's Chrome which has good support for modern web pages. This will at least tell you if its a problem with your browser or computer/network. If you're on a school or work network facebook might be blocked.

I had several problems with facebook on my regular browser. So I just got Firefox and I haven't got a problem with it anymore. Also did you tried to delete all cookies? Your browser should have this option listed under tools, preferences or security.

Farm town won't load on IE but does in Mozilla

You may have third party browser extensions disabled in your Internet Explorer.

Your best option is to do a full browser reset.
  • Clear Cache/Cookies
  • Reset Security to default levels
  • Reset Advanced Settings
This varies slightly depending on the version of Internet Explorer(IE6,7,8)

If you visit this microsoft site they provide a semi-automatic reset program to hep with this

Let me know if this helps, if not I can help you further.

Cannot install yahoo toolbar on firefox.....

this error message can be caused by either:
  • corrupted configuration files on your computer.
  • security software, which may be preventing these files from being updated
try this

Corrupt extension configuration files can cause problems when trying to install an extension. Deleting these files will make Firefox recreate them (removing any corruption) the next time it starts. You won't lose your extensions or their settings by deleting these files.
  1. From the menu at the top of the Firefox windowbar, select FileFirefox and then select the ExitQuit FirefoxQuit menu item.
  2. Go to your profile folder.
  3. Delete the following files:
    • extensions.ini
    • extensions.cache
    • extensions.rdf
  4. Restart Firefox.
