Problem With Firefox and Win XP Install

Archived from groups: alt.fan.mozilla,microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support,wpg.computers.help (More info?)

I've been running Firefox for months on a Win98SE system. No problems.
Really like it. Used HomeTabs. Really nice product.

I updated to Win XP and now Firefox opens but doesn't work. The status bar
shows the name of the web page in the first tab. The Firefox update button
works (I uninstalled and then installed the latest version). The top menu
choices don't work. You cnqa't see them, click on them, or see their
tooltips.

Any ideas? (Other than ditching XP. Not an option.)

Try running Firefox safe mode from the start menu. Then, if you can get
in there, try changing the home page.

You can also try the suggestions at:

under "How to make Firefox/Mozilla Suite start"

Hope that works.
