Since updating to firefox 15. whatever and now 16.0.1, i have been unable to open up any email attachments in my aol email account. I am able to view them via internet explorer. Initially the attachment will open (i can see it) but then a message of "run time error" comes up and when I close that window, the document goes blank. Also, today I clicked on a link via an aol news story and the same thing happened. It went to my firefox downloads, I was able to see part of the document and then that window with "run time error" message in it popped up. Help!!!!

This is a tip I got from ehow.com:

"While less common in Firefox, runtime errors can still occur on that browser. To prevent it from happening again, merely uninstall and reinstall Firefox on your computer."
