Lists, For several months now whenever I download an addon and click on restart firefox, it will close but will not restart until I reboot the computer. Clicking on the desktop icon will not restart it. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

I've been finding Firefox more and more flaky as updates appear pending the arrival of version 4, which is now up to Beta 10 and that's not a good sign - beta versions in double numbers usually means serious errors in the code that are proving difficult to fix !! Such bugs are meant to be found / sorted at the Alpha or pre-Alpha stage, Beta's are supposed to be final polishing before release. Firefox 5 anyone ??? That's usually what happens when a version upgrade goes badly wrong, they skip that number and start again :-) Personally I've switched to Opera 11, initially until Firefox get their act together but actually I like the latest Opera and may well stick will it now :-) If you want to give Firefox another chance, first of all try removing all add-ons and see if it's more stable. If so, then add back what you want one at a time. If Firefox is still troublesome then remove it and re-install the latest version from scratch. -- Best regards, Barry mailto:[email protected] MicroSoft Free Zone running Ubuntu 10.04 'Lucid' 64bit
