Always Freezes on Launch

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

I used to you FireFox 2.x as my main browser. Ever since I first tried 3.0.x, it always freezes on launch, so I have to force quit. I can never load a page. So, I had to switch to Safari for my main browser and I use Camino when I need a second one. I'm glad it still works for some of you.

This is on my PowerMac G5/2x2.0 with 5.5gigs of ram running Leopard. I'll try it on my MacBook C2D/2.0 and report that seperately.

Always Freezes on Launch - tersonodesign

99.9% likely that it's a problem with your profile (possibly an extension). Backup your bookmarks then rename or move your existing profile so that FF will create a new one.

Always Freezes on Launch - MacGuffin

Why should anyone have to? I know I didn't with any of the updates prior to 3.0.8 (which I ended up trashing).
