To do a really nice install and set up say a couple of dozen add-ons, maybe more, might take an hour or half a day, depending on what you like. I would do this only if you are in the right mood. If you feel irritable or you’re in a hurry, leave it for another time.

Hopefully you have several internet browsers, but you might want to bring down a new install file for Firefox and save it handy someplace, before you get rid of your old FF install.

I suggest wiping out your profile, which is in equivalent but different places in XP and Vista. I’d uninstall Firefox. And after getting rid of all that, I’d clean the registry (I like RegSeeker myself; there are a few). Then I might get TuneUp Utilities to scan for anything not quite right and to do a defrag if required. I’d also use CCleaner to help out.

When all seemed well, I’d restart the computer.

(At this point, you might have a fairly clean system. As a by-the-way, it would be a good time to try NTRegOpt and ERUNT, which you really should be using. Yes, they work on Vista too IF you take off your UAC.)

Now install your new Firefox which will have to make a new profile (seeing as you wiped off your old profile). You’ll have to set up everything from scratch. Leave any edgy extensions, such as Gmail Space, to the end. You want to set up a very nice, conservative, good-working system with no glitches.

If you think you have the best Firefox you’ve ever had, you can save the whole shmeer to a faraway place, such as a DVD. Just copy the entire profile and also the entire Firefox program as it is set up. Depending what you have, you might or might not have to re-install FF right over the top, but usually after “a little housekeeping” it will restore things beautifully. Yes, you can put it onto another computer that way.

When you like what you see, you can add in anything that you thought might be causing your problems.

I wish I could say that you won’t HAVE any problems, but the nature of Firefox will always be to take things to the limit, and so there will never be a time when FF works perfectly for very long.

More savvy folk love K-Meleon, and repair folk often have a copy of OffByOne ready to work at any time. (OffByOne comes up so fast that it’s a way of checking an internet connection, too.) If you like Firefox for its myriad add-ons, however, it has no equivalent. In their own ways, both Opera and K-M are as good or better, but only insofar as apples are as good or better than oranges.

Good luck.
