Problems with Firefox v2 & Subsim!

Reece · 02-08-09, 04:57 AM

Hi, For some reason opening a page here at Subsim with Firefox v2 takes forever or won't open at all!!

I have Ghost backups & replacing with older backup in Documents & Settings as well as Program File locations still don't work, however the old IE v6 works a treat, this has only happened since yesturday, has anyone else had problems or know of a fix?

Thanks.

I don't know how to solve your problem, yet I wish to ask you, why you are still using the old v2 of Firefox and not the newer 3.1, which is better and more secure?

Only that others say not to touch it, maybe I will have to give it a go, do you just install over the top or do you have to uninstall the old one first?

It goes on top of the other and takes care of everything...

Been using it for a while...no problems with it...

Firefox 3 has improved since it first came out - several issues seem to have been sorted, so give it a go. Firefox always has been a bit slower loading than IE, but not as slow as you seem to be experiencing. Like the others, I am now running FF3 now, and have had no problems with it

Thanks, I'll give it a go!

Ok done that ... It's worse, IE works no problems, it's only with Subsim!

Funny that this has only happened since I installed a new LCD screen, surely just a coincidence!
