Description

[shiznit1]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
Build Identifier: FireFox 2.0.0.4

I used to use FireFox every day without any significant problems.  But now, when I open FireFox, the page is gray and it says 'Done' at the bottom.  This problem shows up on every page I visit, meaning I can't browse the web with FireFox anymore! :(

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open FireFox
2.See that it doesn't work
3.cry because you hate the Internet Explorer!!!


Expected Results:  
I was expecting the Mozilla starting page to show up, with Google, ready to use!

Reporter, does the problem occur in Safe Mode <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode> ? If it doesn't, then it migth be due to one of your extensions.

One other thing that you can try, is to create a new profile <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager>.

I tried Safe Mode, it didn't work, then I created a new profile and the window now had two tabs opened, both just show the same empty pages as before.

Do you use a firewall ?

Comment 4

[shiznit1]

I don't think my AVG Control has one built in but I have the Windows Firewall.

Can you please remove the firefox entry from the firewall configuration and add it again ?

Comment 6

[shiznit1]

Well, I don't know if I did it right, but I removed FireFox from the list of exceptions on the Windows Firewall and then added it again, nothing changed, though.
