Has anybody had Microsoft Internet Explorer over run and cancel your Mozilla FireFox? On several occasions this has happened to me. I use Mozillia all the time but will occasionaly open Internet Explorer to use certain web sites activities that demand it. When I return to Mozillia it has lost all my settings and would basically have to start over, and just lately a system restore was rendered useless to correct the problem. I finally got a fix by doing a safe mode boot and doing system restore there. I`m almost sure Microsoft is doing this with spyware or a virus because Mozilla is cutting in on there action.

 

sometimes it happens to me too, but its usually just popups or something, and it never completely kills the firefox browser thing

 

I have never had that problem. Nor, have ever heard of it.

 

Me neither. Sounds like a browser hijack kind of thing

 

Does sound like that sort of thing. I have used Firefox for a long while now and never had a problem. I did have something like that a few years ago with IE. If I recall it was a HOST file problem with google.

 

Its a browser hijack for sure and microsoft is doing it, I can`t believe they can get away with this kind of action. I must add that if I keep a Mozilla window open and open internet explorer in another window there is no problem.

 

Sorry, but I ain't buying that. I have used, and continue to use both browsers together for years with no problems.

 

Get a program called Hijack This and run that. A couple years ago someone higjacked my IE and I had to switch to mozilla to keep it from happening. Now I run firefox all the time and I will never go back to IE.

 

I got a load of info from hijack this but how do I decide what is causing the problem?

 

There are forums, like TMS but for computers, where you can post your results and hopefully someone there can have a look and let you now what's up with your computer. Try a google search, there are alot of computer forums out there.

 

Only problems for me with firefox are when Im on Microsoft sites.

 

No problems here on two computer systems.
