Firefox/os issue

[AlphaTI]

I was on xp home for a while then i started getting issues with internet explorer, it kept spamming my task manager with 20+ ie running, then firefox stopped connecting to megaupload, after a lot of gaming buddies saying site works fine, I reformatted and installed vista, however megaupload still wont connect, fw isnt blocking it...any ideas?

your one of the few people to go from xp to vista and not the other way around lol. Is this the only site you have problems with?

hasehase,

There is a Add-on for Firefox that will backup your Firefox profile.
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/

Another thing you might want to check for is malware. I've had 4 systems where they complain that IExplorer doesn't work right anymore but Firefox comes up OK. Two were infected with porn dialers and naturally they went no-where without the phone hooked up, Running Malware Bytes cleaned up three of them. The other one I had to re image was my sons. He had concluded that Firefox was a better browser since it didn't crash all of the time like IExplorer. The gamesite he was downloading from got infected with a real goodie, that it passed on to everyone visiting the site.

+1 malware!

Can't you go Bookmarks => Show All Bookmarks => Import aand Backup => Export bookmarks as HTML to save Firefox bookmarks?
