Default Help with Firefox.

Restarted my laptop the other night and when it was done loading I opened up Firefox and got nothing. I am connected to the internet and can use other programs but not my browser. I did not change any settings. It will load for a few minutes and then nothing. IE does not work either. I am connected, it does not work on another network and my other laptop connects and runs just fine. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you been looking at a lot of **** lately?

Run some spyware/adware/malware/virus programs.

Try restarting your computer and during boot-up press f8 and it will give you some options on how you want to start windows. Select "Safe mode with Networking" and continue. Your screen should be at a very low resolution now(everything will look bigger) Try your internet now. If it works it is obviously a software related issue like a virus or spyware program. Once your in safe mode you can disable all of your start up programs and services and should fix it for ya.

If you need anymore help shoot me a pm.

Is there any chance you have Vista? My laptop will randomly do that with Firefox, so far if I just restart it, it will work again.
