Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

• Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
• https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode

• Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in Safe mode:

• Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
• Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

i've done everything you said. i've done malware etc several times, also used housecall and they turned up nothing. i cleaned my registry. i uninstalled flash, reinstalled, uninstalled and tried an older version, if it is one of the add ons, i can't figure which one. and i haven't added anything to firefox, the only add-ons and plugins that are there are ones firefox required like flash and java and a few others. i have tried disabling the older versions of java, but cannot figure out how to uninstall them (tried javara, can't get it to work). like the op said, they used to work great in firefox til firefox updated.

@RyuB

Please do not use existing threads to ask a question, but start a new thread.

• start a new thread

Then you can provide troubleshooting information like your operating system and installed extensions and installed plugins and we will be better able to help you.

um, please don't be offended, but my question was the same as the op.

you suggested some solutions.

i replied the suggestions didn't work, and added other things i've tried, for your information.

by the way, i have since solved the issue of facebook games not playing on firefox, but what i had to do wasn't in your suggestions, so i won't bother starting a new thread.

thanks anyways. the other people who have this problem, if you want to contact me, i'll tell you what worked for me (but it might not work for you)

thank you.

I reported phishing attempts while playing farmville on Face Book and they locked my account a week ago "for my protection". Pages & farm are still very active--because I receive emails about activities--it is like no one even notices I am not there anymore. Could someone have hi-jacked my sites ??? Facebook gave me a new facebook page devoid of anything and a new farm devoid of anything. I had spent lots of $$ on the orig. farm. I am not computer savvy and will appreciate any suggestions anyone has. Thanks for listening mona register [email protected]
