the problems I mentioned last week still apply, its just made me re-install it twice because of some random java error popping up telling me its not compatible with netscape(????) and it keeps on crashing!

have you cleaned the registry after each uninstall and also deleted all the hidden firefox files/folders?

could also try the mozilla support forum, they seem pretty helpful on there and ive sorted a few issues out just by doing a search there.

yep done all that and is still messed up even after my re-format yesterday (due to the bastid virus)!

Deer Park Alpha 1 - the beta of the next gen of Firefox is out, but not recommended for general users of Firefox 1.0.x, anyone gonna give it a go?

Do you think can it be installed without conflicting with current FF installations?

dunno, not sure what to make of the statement tbh

two things about extensions on my Firefox:

1) My Gmail Notifier no longer works, and i haven't been notified of any updates :X

2) My WeatherFox extension now shows a little satellite map of the cloudcover over Europe

i've bit the bullet, have installed Deer Park Alpha 1, and it seems exactly like Firefox tbh, only change is the theme is different and the logo is different

but does it overwrite the stable FF?

nope, i'm still running FF as well with no problems, Deer Park also comes with a Deer Park Safe Mode version which i've not looked at yet

FF also comes with a safe mode version (accessable from start menu)
