What's not right about it?  Looks exactly like what I'm browsing with now.  Except for the whole forum appearance stupidity mess.
who needs a signature? ;)
It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

That definitely happens when Firefox cannot load the page completely. As for why that happens, I have no idea. Try clearing all caches, (tools > options > privacy) and try again.

If it works with IE but not with Firefox, then uninstall your profile and create a new one. (firefox.exe -ProfileManager)

I tried both of those, it didn't appear to work. -ProfileManager WAS a command line command, wasn't it? If it is not, where am I supposed to put it?


Sorry for the n00b questions, but I am very much a n00b in Firefox.

Think Russian. That'll fix your problem.
Be warned: This site's admins stole 100s of hours of my work. They will do it to you.

Thats more likely to corrupt your problem :p

Besides what everyones just said about pages not loading completely and clearing the cache, a fresh install should work. Did you delete the related registry keys, FF folder and application data for FF after uninstalling and before reinstalling FF?

Why would you want to delete the tabs, when you can just hide them using tools>options, the advanced icon - under browsing, of course this will only work when you have one webpage open in one window.

It still sounds more like a connection problem. Does this forum give you the same problem, diyaudio.

I'll try that in a little bit.

If it were, then wouldn't IE be having the same problem?

well, yes in most cases but I really don't see anything else that could be causing it since it looks like you've ruled out clearing the cache, cookies, history, etc

I've also managed to clear out all of the information, but now it will not log back in with that damn thing. Not only that, the quick reply box is gone.


Unless someone comes up with a solution that works, then I will have no choice but to go back to IE.

Check in IE to see if you have a proxy set up; if so, make sure you have FF set with the same settings.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I have no proxy setup. I checked the automatic proxy configuration in Firefox anyway just to see what would happen. Suprise, suprise, nothing happened.

That's really odd. Maybe you should try Mozilla and see if it screws up on that too.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

That looks strange...like its not loading properly.  Sure you don't have something running in the background causing that.  I've never seen that happen...run Firefox on 5 machines here and 1 at school.

Here is what is even wierder: Reformatting my hard drive and then reinstalling firefox (after winblows of course) appearently has fixed it.

I felt it was time for a fresh install anyway. :)

hey would anybody mind posting how to get to the profile manager? Somehow my profile disappeared and I'm trying to put my favorites list back together (luckily it was short).
What's the address? C:\Program Files\Firefox\???
