Using Aurora and FF 6.0 beta, web pages don't seem to load when I click on a link. It just sits there with the indicator spinning. I can load the site, sometimes, if I copy & paste into Google. It was suggested that I create a new profile. Whenever I put in "firefox.exe -profilemanager" it just opens a new window.

Also, if I have Aurora, should I remove FF 6.0 or do I have to keep both?

Also want to add that I've gotten tired of searching through support for an answer and that's why I'm posting this.

That can happen if Firefox isn't closed completely and is still running in the background.
You can also try to add the -no-remote switch to see if that helps.
You may also have to specify the full Firefox Aurora path if you have more Firefox versions installed.

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox Aurora\firefox.exe" -no-remote -P

What's the no remote switch? Also, the only folder I have under Program Files is Firefox 4.0 Beta 8. Wondering if I need to delete everything and start over.

The -no-remote switch forces Firefox to start if there is already another Firefox process running.

It is normally used to run multiple Firefox instances each with its own profile at the same time, but might help in this case if there is a hanging Firefox process.
