This morning Firefox would not load. The pointer briefly turns into a
"busy" icon but quickly returns to being a pointer. At about the same time
I noticed AVG running a scan. I investigated and it had completed the
scheduled scan but was doing another scan and had been running a very long
time. I could not determine what or why it was scanning so I stopped the
scan. I recall a few days ago that Firefox updated itself (it is programmed
to do that). Something must have happened and it did not complete or became
corrupted. I am about to do major surgery and uninstall both Firefox and
Firefox Preloader and reinstall. I did try running CleanUp and then
CHECKDSK but this did not help. IE is working but I have Firefox set as my
default browser.
Is my plan a good one or is there something else I should try? Does Firefox
have a Repair function? (Running Windows XP Pro.)
