A comment on the problem "Firefox 3 crashes trying to open particular filetypes." in Mozilla:

Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin?

Also, is this with only one PDF or all? – Josh (myles7897), on October 25, 2008 06:24

Josh (myles7897) replied on October 25, 2008 06:20 to the question "Why do Bookmarks take so long to open?" in Mozilla Messaging:

I recommend upgrading to Firefox 3, it has lots of improvements to the bookmark system. http://www.getfirefox.com

It might also be because you have alot of Bookmarks or Live Bookmarks. How many of each do you have?

Josh (myles7897) replied on October 25, 2008 06:17 to the question "Is there a way to have multiple bookmark toolbars?" in Mozilla:

Yes there is! See this thread for help, http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtop...

Basically you add this code to your userchrome.css
/* Multi-row bookmarks toolbar */
#bookmarks-ptf {display:block}
#bookmarks-ptf toolbarseparator {display:inline}

If you know about userchrome.css go ahead and do that, if not the thread explains it.

Thanks for the move Eric. :-)

Everret, lets try safe mode. steps are outlined here.

Also, can you answer a few questions.
What operating system are you using?
What version of Firefox are you using?
Do you have any add-ons?
Can you go to a site and have it show up? (like http://support.mozilla.com)
Do you have any firewalls or security programs?

A comment on the question "Colt 2.4.1" in Mozilla:

some people disable HTML for there myspace comments. I memorized the code, so type it in. I can not speak for Tom, thou. – Josh (myles7897), on September 25, 2008 00:44

Josh (myles7897) replied on September 25, 2008 00:09 to the question "Colt 2.4.1" in Mozilla:

This add-on might help. It lets you copy text and then paste it as a HTML link to the page you copied it from.

For all your html needs, try this add-ons. Which gives you a toolbar filled with HTML stuff, similar to the bar above the box on Yahoo! Mail.

Josh (myles7897) replied on September 21, 2008 19:17 to the question "What happened to "Microsoft Activex portability container" in Firefox 3?" in Mozilla:

darn! ok it appears, that the site wants you to install a plugin, and there is no way getting around that. I suggest that you either use Internet Explorer for the chat, or get into the wonderful world of IRC. (internet Relay Chat). Just go to http://mibbit.com/ and in the upper right corner search for whatever you want to talk about.

sorry about that. :(

P.S. you should contact the site owner and complain.

Josh (myles7897) replied on September 21, 2008 17:05 to the question "What happened to "Microsoft Activex portability container" in Firefox 3?" in Mozilla:

hmm, IE Tab should work, becuase it opens the web page with Internet Explorer, just with Firefox user controls. Make sure you have activex for Internet Explorer.

What sites specifically are not working?

ActiveX went out when Firefox 2 was released. It causes security holes and is not safe to use. For more see http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/A...

Fatjake: can you supply the information that I asked ljamesh above.

A comment on the discussion "Do you like mozilla firefox 3?" in Mozilla:

Good searching, rhode.

Lizzie: Beware, Firefox 2 will only be support, till the end of this year. That means that any security holes found after that will *not* be patched.
If there is something specific you don't like, maybe we could find a solution. – Josh (myles7897), on September 17, 2008 04:43
