    Hello, I'm having to ctrl alt del kill Firefox after I close it.
    I will open it and the tool bars and bookmarks are messed up, missing,
    I look in processes and it shows Firefox still going even if it's been a min or a few hrs...it's kind of annoying. Any ideas?

    i had a similar problem to this when i installed avg 8.0 when i ran the first scan and removed everything in the warnings section i had major problems with firefox 3 had to do a complete uninstall and reinstall remember to use ccleaner and scan for issues to completely remove firefox before reinstalling.firefox 3.0 is still a beta version maybe reverting back to a more stable version will help till they sort out all the bugs

    Just a heads up Firefox 3.0 is now final.


    So if not updated to Final release version do so Firefox 3.0 but do as iwonder mentions uninstall, clean up PC of old reminents of FF and reinstall latest version.

    If you have updated then try running Firefox in its Safe Mode to see if maybe one of your add-ons is causing this.

    Launch FF in safe mode through the programs/Mozilla FF (safe) option. If it behaves, then you know it is an addon.

    I was lazy and did another clean uninstall and didn't add so many useless addons, before the safe mode check and FF is behaving again,
    save that oh little unresolved security flaw. Thanks all for your input :)
