351332 2005-05-02 05:25:00 Firefox 1.0.3 won't run porperly on the above mentioned OS. It frequently stops loading. Usually restarting Firefox sorts it, but then it's only another 5mins before it happens again.

Ideas?

? What does that have to do with my problem?

A clarification, Firefox stops loading pages. Firefox itself always loads.

So, I'll be browing fine and then it will simply refuse to load a page. Open another browser and it's fine.

351336 2005-05-02 21:45:00 well Im using it and it works fine so at least you know they are compatible. Not sure how to fix your problem though.

Who said it is a server? it maybe be running Server 2003, but it is in fact a client.

Remove FF via the control panel, then reinstall it. Make sure you've removed all listed versions.

You don't know my situation, so are not in a good position to give OS advice, dude. Whatsmore, that's beside the point of this thread.

Thanks for your advice, but I tried that long before I searched the net and before I eventualy asked here.

Thanks. It's odd, at least I know it's not Server. Tried the standard FF tweaks like changing the piplining etc. but no chnage at all. Might go back to an earlier version and see if that makes a difference.
