Firefox issue

**nonamedsomebody** · 02-08-2009, 09:26 PM

I have firefox installed and I kept getting weird looking web pages. I have pinpointed the problem down to spybot's teatimer system protection. just throwing this out there.

What do you mean by "weird looking web pages"? Please post a screenshot.

Are you running any other security software that's doing the same background monitoring job as TeaTimer? If you are, just disable TT.

Which version of Firefox are you using? Have you tried disabling all addons and themes to see if there's a conflict?

Another way to say that is have you tried to run in safe mode? Go to programs -> Mozilla -> Firefox safe mode.

Cheers!

soon as i disabled tea timer everything cleared up im running 3.0.6 newest release. the webpages are like text on top of text that shouldn't be. It may have had to do with java a little as well i had it disabled.

That is possible. I am glad that you were able to figure it out on your own. I will mark this as sloved for you.

Cheers!

Still having some issues.

Hi,

Try going to Safe mode and accessing the same sites. I want to see if you are having the same problems.

Cheers!

I rebooted so far so good could the issue be something with hibernation? I let my system hibernate after 30mins.

XP's hibernation has never been 100% reliable, so it could possibly be related. Change it from 30 minutes to 3 hours and see if you get any problems during that period.

I beleive it is hibernation messing with me. Soon as i reboot it still gives me wierd looking pages but not so many page errors like page cannot be found.

Try clearing the Firefox cache (using Clear Private Data) after coming out of hibernation before loading any web pages.

I'll give that a try i have an older version of system mechanic installed I'll do the cache clear through that it does a more thorough job
