<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After recently performing a Windows Update<\/a> on my WinXP\nbox, my Firefox<\/a> no\nlonger worked. It would<\/span> start up and some of the button bars would render,\nbut most of the screen would be blank. It was odd<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n

After much wailing and grinding of teeth, I found<\/span> a way<\/span> to solve it,\nalthough I'm not exactly sure what “it” really was, or even if\nit was related to Windows Update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

After shutting down Firefox, I renamed<\/span> my extensions<\/b> directory,\nwhich for most people is within<\/p>\n\n

\n\nC:\\Documents and Settings\\<\/b>username<\/i>\\Application\nData\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\<\/b>random<\/i>.default\\<\/b> <\/p>\n\n

I renamed it to extensions-X<\/b>, the started Firefox successfully. I then shut<\/span> Firefox down, and moved the contents of the extensions-X<\/b>\ndirectory to the new extensions<\/b> directory which Firefox had just\ncreated. Then, when I restarted<\/span> Firefox again and looked at my list of\nextensions (Tools > Extensions<\/b>), I found<\/span> that two, Tabbrowser Preferences<\/a>\nand Allow\nRight-Click<\/a>, don't work with Firefox 1.0.<\/span>6, to which I upgraded<\/span> several\ndays ago.<\/p>\n\n

It's almost certainly Tabbrowser Preferences that caused the troubles,\nbut I have<\/span> no explanation for why it stopped working days after I made<\/span> the\nupgrade. The most likely<\/span> reason is that I didn't<\/span> actually restart Firefox\nafter installing the upgrade, and only after the Windows Update and\ncomputer reboot did I try<\/span> the new Firefox 1.0.<\/span>6. Anyway, I thought<\/span> I'd\nwrite about this in the hopes that it helps others who run into the same\nthing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
