Okay, well somehow I managed to screw up my FireFox - again! This happened just after I loaded up the Office 12 Beta and I opened firefox (unknown if the install is related or not) and it said I had to upgrade, so I downloaded the update and ran it straight from the download.
I received the error message that I had to quit all instances of firefox and then try again. Weird thing was, there was no open firefox running. Opened the task manager and found four instances of firefox! Tried to end the process but it wouldn't do it, they just kept right on chugging along. The pc performance did not seem to be hindered even the slightest bit.
Eventually I had to shut the pc down and run the FF setup exe again. It seemed to run fine and I've got 1.5.0.2 version. The only problem is now when I open FF up it's a blank screen. I can view all web pages fine with all other browsers I've tried, just not FF anymore.
I tried resetting the default browser to IE, tried FF, then reset FF to the default, tried it, nothing. In the status bar it says "Looking up www.google.com...", my home page, as it does if you have no internet connection. (For those who work on a wireless network of sorts have probably seen this quite a bit.)
I have tried to reset all web settings a couple of times, reloaded the FF setup, uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. No go. Not sure what to do now. Anybody else have this issue? It's only with the pc at my work, home is still chugging right along.
