When you click into the updates and new software windows however, there's nothing in there. If I open task manager and try to load the browser I can see the process called web, running from /opt/firefox/firefox-bin, but only for a second before it disappears. Any ideas? :illogical	nofam (9009)

But it will restore it back to the default factory image - I guess it will wipe out any personal files. If you can get into it enough you could back up the personal files to a USB drive then do the restore from the hidden partition - takes about a minute and you are back to sqeaky clean factory image.	robjg63 (13548)

Thanks rob - turned out the problem was that there was only 190Mb free on the SSD; once I removed around 5Gb of holiday photos, Firefox came up straight away :rolleyes: The updates package was still failing though; sudo synaptic just gave me a 'unable to get record lock' message. Factory default did the trick :thumbs:	nofam (9009)
