  • and many many more...

When I do that nothing happens at all, even in Save Mode!

I alread try:

  • Delete localstore.rdf
  • Create a new profile
  • Run Firefox in Save Mode
  • Unistall and re-install Firefox
  • Disable and delete all of my add-ons
  • Reset print.* in about:config
  • Cleaning my registry
  • Try Firefox 5 and 6

And none of them works!

Please help...! I'm really frustated!

I only can use my Firefox to surf the internet now, but no uploading, no downloading, no saving page, no printing. Really, really disapointed.

Note:

  • I can save and print a pdf which opened in Firefox, only if i use menu in the plugin's which inside the tab page (beside Adobe Connect icon), but not working if I use menu bar in Firefox.
  • Other browsers like Chrome, IE, Opera works fine.
