Firefox question - Page 2

IE has a pretty full featured MAC/Apple browser. But its still IE and five steps behind FF.

I thought the Mac version stopped at IE5.

It did. It's full-featured for about 1998 and several browsers --- most notably Firefox, Safari and Camino --- have leapfrogged it.

The problem seems to have solved itself. Else some update since has fixed the problem on their end. I haven't done anything since the reinstall.

I hate when this happens.

OK. I figured out the problem. It wasn't Firefox at all, but Zone Alarm.

It seems there is a bug in version 3 that corrupted the database. When I checked WHICH Firefox was permitted to run, it was v 1.8.x.x

The new version doesn't come up at all. Trying to delete the .RDB files was impossible so I uninstalled and reinstalled the firewall. I found the references I needed to track the problem down at the Mozilla website. Helpful place, that. I must visit there more often!
