Right so...not sure if there isn't a better forum for this (and if there is, I apologize) but I have some problems with Firefox that I can't find any cures for. They are as followed:

Google images no longer works, it just fails to load and gives a Timed Out message. I'm forced to either use Chrome (which I hate) or German or New Zealand Google.

Same case for instant search and cache which no longer appear.

I think it might be a virus but Norton and Malwarebytes turn up nothing when I scan my computer.

Anyone know of anything like this?

use Internet Explorer

When I try opening Internet Explorer it crashes because there are more toolbars than whitespace on the home page.

IE is for people who haven't discovered better browsers.

Have you uninstalled, rebooted and then re-installed FireFox? Besure to make a copy-file of your shortcuts.

If you think it's a virus, D/L and install Avast, it's free and it's (imo) the best anti-virus, much smaller resource-footprint than Norton and it's free. Sometimes where one AV fails to detect, another finds.

Stop hating Chrome and use that.


Firefox is for people that haven't discovered Chrome yet.

It's 2012, if you're not using Chrome I pity you.

Or who know how to use it properly.

Or people that like the granularity of control Firefox offers, the familiarity that Firefox offers, the number of add-ons Firefox has, or the stability perks Firefox has over the competition (in our web-design class, Firefox was more compatible with the scripting we did than either Chrome of IE. However, Chrome was a close second).


Of course, things will change. I remember the month that a script blocker was finally released for Chrome: I craved it like no other, mang. I still use Chrome for just about everything.

I still use Firefox because I'm 80 years old and in my day, Firefox was all you needed. None of this fancy schmancy "Chrome" hullabaloo.

To be fair, it would sit there for days...and maybe then Barker and Thoren would have an off-topic date there for a couple pages.

Chrome is quicker, Firefox is more customizable. I use both.

Then again, most people with a website does.

Sorry about the browser probs. I'm a Firefox user myself. I like it and dont see any reason to use anything else. My whole computer is acting whacky lately, though. Probably virus related also (watch too much pron). Gotta get my bro to help me figure out what's up soon..

I am using Firefox, here is problem with me and everything is fine. I think problem is your computer.

Adblocker works better on Firefox... So I use Firefox for most of my internet'ing.

The thing is that Firefox and Chrome both have a redirect problem on my computer, it's just images still work on Chrome (and on New Zealand or German Google on Firefox).

Neither Symantec nor Malwarebytes has found any viruses (well, MB claims that Svchost is infected by a trojan but every time I remove it and restart the computer MB says its still there) and when I downloaded Avast it bluescreened my computer O_o

Put your machine in safe mode, and turn off system restore, and try again.
