282205 - Firefox becoming globally unable to load any page

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Ant]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: 

Such a general topic will sound strange to most of us, but as this bug happened 
to me on 2 diffrent computers in 2 completely 

diffrent situations, with 2 diffrent OS and at 2 diffrent periods, I think it's 
worth talking about it.

After some weeks of use, Firefox 1.0 became unable to load any page. Any 
attempt to "repair" it didn't work and I 

finally had to reinstall it completely

It happened with the 2 following configurations:

- Athlon 900 MHz, 56k modem, W2K.
- P4 1.8 Ghz, LAN, XP.

If others among you encountered a similar problem, let's share the experiences.

Reproducible: Always

It may not be my call, but I suspect that the forums, exempli gratia: 
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38 (linked from 
the Firefox support page at http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/ )
are probably a better place for sharing.

use the forums to discuss that. There are not enough informations in this bug to
fix something and you can't reproduce that or have the files still around.
