I've had problems with FF for the last week or so.
It crashed one day and ever since then I can't stay logged in to MSE. I sometimes have quite a few snap links open and when I want to thank or comment, I have to log back in to MSE!! Very frustrating!!!
Anyways, now when I try to open it, it tells me that :
This application has failed to start because sqlite3.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
I've tried to uninstall but my laptop tells me that I'm not an administrator (its MY laptop and only me - sometimes OH - uses it!!) When I try to right click and unistall as an administrator, nothing happens!!
Earlier today, I had to system restore as it said the computer had shut down incorrectly. I shut it down properly so don't know whats going on!!
Anyone help please??

depends
is it scanning files or just frozen?:idea:0 -
It was scanning files, but then Windows decided it would install updates and restart computer, so am now running the scan again!! Grrrrr at windows.
Will a quick scan suffice or does it have to be a full scan?Made it - 15 years married!! Finally!! xx:beer:0 -
Run a QUICK scan for now if you like. But its not as thorough:idea:0

I've had problems with FF for the last week or so.
It got so bad it wouldn't even open in Firefox "safemode".
I uninstalled it, removed every trace I could find and re installed, seems better, but still have the occasional crash.Move along, nothing to see.0
