Firefox 5 u/s

Is there a problem with FF5 ??:eek: It was browsing fine until today and now all I can get is "xml parsing error". I can't search for anything.;) Trouble is, all my favourites are there.
I've switched to IE which browses and my chrome will work so I assume it's not a PC error.
Any ideas please:D:D

Tried CTRL+F5 on the site you are trying to browse?

I've been on FF5 for a few months now with no problems.

Something you could try is to go to Help, Restart with Add-ons Disabled to see if an add-on is causing the issue.

However, one of the good things about FF is that all of you custom settings (including history, favourites, stored passwords, cookies, etc) are stored in the same place - you profile folder.

So if you have to uninstall and re-install FF, just back up your profile and once re-installed, point the new installation at the backup. All your favourites will be back as they were.

Only potential issue is if the problem is caused by a corrupt profile folder...
