Vista - Is Vista still compatible with Firefox 3.0.8

Hello everybody,
Yesterday when I tried to open Mozilla Firefox, they showed up some error like crash something, I removed the old, install the new, the problem is still there.
I don't know why, before it ran smooth. I did try to install the old version firefoxe 2.0 but impossible. Please help.
I use Vista Home Premium, 32 bit.

Thank you all of you,

Firefox 3.0.8 kinda sucks. I was unable to enable cookies by any chance. I would recommended use alternatives like Safari, IE 8 or Google Chrome till final release of mozilla.

I have Vista X64 home premium running Firefox 3.0.8 with no problems.

Same here.

Tried completely uninstalling Firefox and trying from scratch?

Uninstalling Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

Even if you completely uninstall mozilla, still when you reinstall, it will take the same profile and the error may occur again.

Not if you follow the instructions in the link I posted as it has you remove,

• Windows Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox

which is the folder where the profiles are kept.

P.S. Also a good idea to make a backup of this folder every now and then. That way if you ever re-install Windows, get Firefox installed, put that folder where it belongs, Firefox will open with all your Bookmarks and extensions.

I have been running the FF 3.1 Beta version and it works very well.

I have a problem with FF where in i m unable to enable cookies even if i have enabled it. While changing Google preferences, it shows that my cookies are disabled and when i check in Settings, it shows that all cookies are enabled. is there a way to fix it.
Stormy13, if i delete this folder: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox ,
will it reset firefox?

Have you tried Firefox in Safe Mode (shortcut for it is in the Start menu folder) to see if it might be caused by an extension? Firefox in Safe Mode uses your profile minus any extensions/themes/etc you have installed.

Deleting that folder will delete your current (as well as any other) profile, so will yes basically start fresh. You can also create a new profile,

Managing profiles

to see if it is something in your profile's settings/etc. This will give you a new prfile with no extensions and the Firefox options will be at their defaults.

Also any cookie manager type extensions installed? If so that could be what is causing the problem.

Hello everybody,
Thank you for your quick reply, I did remove Mozilla in Registry, and restart and install again, that problem still there, but I forgot about Application folder, I will try and let you know, by the way I have just install Opera, it runs smooth.

I did go to application and remove, and install, but impossible, the error showed up about something wrong with my application, they ask me to fix it first, I thought i did some thing wrong when I tried to export some directory to my folder.

But if i did wrong, how could I just intall Opera and it still run smooth? And I also have Acoo Browser, Avant browser, IE 7, no problem, just only Firefox.



Thanks again,
You have a nice weekend!
