i installed Beta 2 and it froze on the epub add on. I uninstalled it installed again same thing. unistalled then installed 1.1 removed epub then uninstalled and reinstalled beta 2. just freezes on 1st page. can I COMPLETELY remove to reinstall?
I have installed the FF4 Beta 2 and intially it worked well. I then went to add ons and it froze on full screen with epub. I have the screen shot if its any good. It sfull screen and has rss feed symbol in top left of screen then underneath Whats new - epub reader underneath Version 1.3.0.3 then underneath that its says bugfixes in some cases FF4 crashed when an ebook with epub reader was loaded and tabs where switched. Anyway I uninstalled beta 4 then installed 1.1 and removed epub reader. Then reinstalled FF4 B2 but it just freezes on opening. For the short whle I used Beta 2 it looked great speed wise compared to earlier versions. I think if I was to be able to completley remove firefox and do a claen install it may work.

It sounds like you are using Firefox for Maemo (Nokia N900).
If you want a completely clean install, you can get rid of your old profile by typing this command into the X Terminal app before starting Firefox:
cd .mozilla; mv fennec fennec.bak
(That will move your existing profile to a backup location, so a new one will be created. This will hide all your bookmarks, history, cookies, and add-ons, but you can restore the old profile from the backup if you need to.)

Brilliant your the man. Actually reinstalled Maemo PR1.3 (you were on the money guessing N900) to try and fix then forgot one of the fennec's in x term line....but finally there. great thanks always thought firefox would get there had so much potential but lacked the speed to make it practical. cheers and thanks
