Why has my install of Firefox stopped

[Bateluer]

For example, if I go to Apple's movie trailer website, every movie trailer displays a blank page. Same with the Windows Media trailers at Yahoo.

Any Flash also fails the same way.

I've tried reinstalling them all several times, including reinstalling Firefox.

This started with 1.0.7, but has continued with 1.5.

Any ideas?

What version flash do you have and are you running adblock?

Have you tried cleaning your profile?

I had the same problem today for the first time. had to do with some video on an advertisement. My Firefox locked up. But I gav eit soem time and it came back telling me abot hte excessive CPU usage and it recovered when I told it to not try replaying the video.

How exactly do I do that? And wouldn't it have been wiped out when I uninstalled and reinstalled FireFox?

I'm running the lastest version of Flash as of last friday.

FF for will install all plugins except WMP, no embedded WMP files will work in FF, so I have to switch over to IE

No. The profile is stored separately.
