it seems like a new one rears its ugly head every day. heres the new one. anytime, on any forum, or any site where you can upload images or files, when I click the button to do so, firefox gives me the beach ball for a few seconds, then quits.
and I get an error that says it unexpectedly quit. it happens every time, so I cant post any images, or anything in firefox. so Im back to safari. I've repaired permissions, emptied firefox's cache, deleted its preferences, and still nothing.

I never had that problem before. Sorry, I'm puzzled over that one. I guess Firefox isn't for everybody.

I was having those problems hmm.. many many months ago. I completely wiped Firefox, all preferences, everything that had to do with Firefox, then reinstalled and havent had any problems since. I think it was stuff left over from old versions of Firefox..

Yeah I did an export, and made sure I had backups of things and did a bunch of reading and so forth and figured out exactly what to keep or what I could remake and so forth.. took me awhile, but now I can use firefox without any problems.. so it was either that or have problems with it ;(
