it happened again: with one page open, if i try to open another page from the browser, or from the bookmarks etc., it just opens blank and the progress indicator remains working as if it was trying to get there, but never does. i already reset firefox, but to no avail. i can't remember how the problem was solved the last time, some months ago. thank you in advance. :-)

it happened again: with one tab open, if i try to open another page from the browser, or from the bookmarks etc., it just opens blank and the progress indicator remains working as if it was trying to get there, but never does. i already reset firefox, but to no avail. i can't remember how the problem was solved the last time, some months ago, but going back to the thread created then, i notice that eventually it remained unsolved and apparently i did overcome the problem somehow... thank you in advance. :-)

Let’s do a full clean re-install;

Note: Firefox comes in three or more folders on all computers. They are;

Maintenance: (Programs Folder) <Windows Only> Firefox itself: (Programs Folder) And two folders in the profile of each user on the computer for each Firefox profile for that user.

If you remove the Firefox folder, the user profiles would not be affected.

Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}

Save the file. Then Close Firefox.

Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.

Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) Note: Check Both Folders

Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac

Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Look for, and remove any Mozilla or Firefox program folders. Do not remove the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.

Do Not remove any profile folders.

After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.
