IIRC (not an xp user) you have to change the shortcut target to:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /prefetch:1

not that the path is in speech marks, but the prefetch:1 part is outside. From the error that you are getting it looks like you have all/none of it in speech marks.

Permission to worry you : I have moved one step nearer by pasting the link as sent which opens up the Firefox ver 9 Browser but does not do anything else. I only want to let Spyblaster get access to the browser as it reports I donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t have Motzilla Firefox browser loaded, ( see sceen shot below) is this a bug in Firefox or Spyblaster not recognising ver 9 could it be that itââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s a beta ver bug??

In firefox - when I get a new PM - instead of a flashing red box at the top right of the screen - it's black and I can't read the text within (to click on the private messages link) - Anyone else noticed this - or is it just me?

Cheers in advance - Dilligaf

I don't think that ever worked for me in any firebird/firefox versions.

They were a little disappointed with 0.9 so 0.9.1 has been released.

It's the only thing I've really noticed wrong with it so far, so I'm quite happy.

I have just been notifed that a update is available for FireFox I had ver 0.9.0 it then downloaded ver 0.9.1 installed it, but now it still reportst that a new update is availble and what version does it want to load but 0.9.1

Question::::: do I take note of what it is telling me and download it again????? seems strange to me. I have still not been able to make a profile so SpywareBlaster will not tell me that Mozilla Firefox is not installed.

Also the email re new posts don't seem to be working, last one I got was 28th @21:01 anyone got the same prob or is it Just me again. Re PM the window is the same here either red or blue but unable to see any text,,,,

I had the same problem when upgrading from 0.8 to 0.9... uninstall firefox from the control panel, delete the mozilla folder and run a reg cleaner (if you dont have one, email me and i will send you one). Then download and install the latest firefox version from mozilla.org and it should install properly. This should also be picked up by spyware blaster.

As for the pm box, that is a feature of using firefox, when you hover over the private messages link it will show in white. It is less annoying than the flashing red IMO.

And i still haven't had time to reply to your email but i am getting there

There is no need to run a reg cleaner.
Just uninstall, delete the directory then install the newer version.
Don't delete anything in Application Data because this will delete your profile.

BTW - the PM blink hack doesn't work in Mozilla because whoever wrote it only tested it in IE.
It is not a "feature" of Mozilla, it just doesn't work properly...
When I've got the time I'll rewrite it properly and to standards.

Permission to worry you yet again

I have done every thing that has been suggested I have removed Firefox and made sure that it is gone but when I re-install ver 1.9.1 which shows as ver 0.9.1 when you view help/about on the newly installed version which still has the little red exclamation mark bottom right telling me Critical Updates available which want to load 0.9.1 would you believe, any clues to whatââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s going on??????? Only have another 30 mins and Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m off call (who said plumbers have it easy)

[Richard M]

Yeah, FF 0.9 is buggy so it does that.

What?
Don't look at me like that, it is a beta after all!

If all fails read the instructions: It is strongly recommended that you uninstall any previous version of Firefox first. Installing over the top of an older version may cause unpredictable problems.

This I had done three times, I found it to be the profile file that was causing the problem,(the one firefox can't see) this can be located: C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

I deleted the profile folder, reinstalled Firefox and hey presto the little red exclamation box was gone. The problem with Spyblaster is still the same it reports Mozilla Firefox is not installed Dâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢oH This seems to be a problem with the profile folder, but I know it's there. Question has anybody got 0.9.1 loaded and is using Spyblaster, is it doing the same?????? is it something thant can't be fixed with this beta version.
