Firefox Problem

[Jeza]

I cannot get on the internet via firefox. When I double click the icon on my desk top nothing happens. I have had to use IE and it is soooooooo Slooooooooooow.
Can I safely uninstall firefox and then reinstall. Or does anyone know what the problem may be.

I'm fairly sure you can uninstall and reinstall to your heart's content.
Does your PC have a resouce issue ? Disk space ? Memory ?

Not that I know of O G. but I'm not very tech savvy.

Right click the My Computer icon and choose properties. It should show the amount of memory (RAM) you have.
Use explorer to find out properties for your C: drive. How big it is and how much of it is still free.

I've been there as well as experienced having to restart my laptop because it won't open without ceasing response as it does. Or else it would do so during use.
So I switched to Chrome and literally about 2 seconds in I already noticed a change in performance. At least for now.
And my condolences that you were forced to use IE. XP
