I have been using firefox for about a month now. I aint going back to crappy IE7 in a hurry. Firefox is much faster.

Are you using the latest version Libra ?

Un install it and re-install it. Also I noticed some "Addon ons" caused me problems.

I used it years a go but then when IE7 come out with the tabs I never used it again until IE7 started getting crap.

I have found that over the last month that Firefox has been responsible for allowing some viruses through. AVG had them sorted out quickly enough but they were all connected to firefox files. This came after updating firefox. Although i am not keen on IE7 i have now uninstalled Firefox due to the issues.

What you must remember is to scan anything you have downloaded from the internet, even from reputable sites. It only takes a few seconds and can save you days of pain and grief.
