Firefox works fine and is my preferred browser, but after I connect an ipod to my computer it will not load. Even after the ipod has been removed firefox will still not load until the pc is restarted.

Open the Windows Task Manager > Processes Tab and see if there is a firefox.exe process running, when you can't open Firefox and you find it necessary ti restart your PC. When you try to open Firefox and a firefox.exe process is "hung", you should get a warning message that "Firefox is already running" .

Hi, yes that's it exactly.....I get that message that ff is already running, but can't close the open file to reload it, do I just go into task manger, highlite the file and 'end process it' ?.
