Title: Firefox
Post by: pitw on November 05, 2009, 09:30:30 AM
Morning guys I finally got firefox installed on this computer.  I agree it is faster than the IE thingy :yoyo:.  I do however have a problem and was wondering if any of you can help out the one of the dumbest of the dumb[currently ranked 2nd].  There is a site I like to visit a lot that I cannot get into on firefox.  I can go to it but not sign in is what I mean.  I uninstalled the fox but that didn't help so I was hoping for more ideas to try.I've also deleted all cookies, browsing history and cached pages so what now?

not sure what to tell ya.  I recently switched to Firefox cause I hate windows.  I have never came across a problem like that.  I did however visit a site I rarely visit daily and it gave me a red screen warning me that it was a hazardous site.

Try clicking on Start, All Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt

then, type FORMAT C:

when asked Y/N answer Y and hit enter

That should fix your problem.   :biggrin:

Semp,

I don't know non-Macs, but are you trying to get Barry to format his hard drive?  Like erase everything that is there.

Yikes...formatting your hard drive as in erasing everything is like the last of all resorts.
Semp must be trying to get even with ya for something  :laf:

But what exactly do you mean by, "I can go to it but i can't sign in"?
It's puffs smoke?
The lights flicker?
You forgot your password?
The wife screams, "Not again"?
You run out of time?
Your keyboard, freezes up?
Power surge?

:confused:

I know that you have that special ability to talk to the coyotes.  You just call out, invite them over to visit, and then KILL them.   :biggrin:

Well with the help from people on this forum and a bit from Firefox I have successfully managed to get on the other site now :yoyo: :yoyo:.  I appreciate the help and thank all of you :readthis:.  Another thing on the plus side of this little wander into learning is that I have cleaned so much stuff out of this computer that is so fast I can make mistakes now :iroll:.
  The story on the coyotes wasn't much as one of my Icelanders makes money at home by getting Fox bounty, so he wanted to see how I snare coyotes.  We set out 10 snares on 200 yds of fence line where coyotes arewere  bothering a feedlot owner. The next day when we drove up to check them and a coyote was standing there checking our handi work.  Birger shot him and there were 6 in snares.  I would love to tell the rest of the story but peta, green peace and the law would be on me like white on rice :puke:.
