Default Firefox is stuffing around

Yep, its stuffing around and not loading everything on the pages (pics in particular). I find that sometimes i need to refresh pages of this site 2-3 times in order to see all the pics.

I changed the settings in accordance to the thread on here not long ago, and it was supposed to run even better, but i think its actually done the opposite.

Any ideas on how to revert it to default settings, or change it so it does load everything on the first go?

re-install? fixes everything.

If you install over the top you shouldnt lose your favorites etc..

Sure you haven't just got a shitty connection?
I've only been using Firefox for a couple of days, it's a bit buggy but it's faster than I.E. and safer.... *mumbles something about mircro$oft and their incompetent programmers* _

Yeah i have got a crap connection (50.6 on dialup), but before i changed those settings it was working fine. I was hoping there'd be a way to revert it back to default.

I did a quick search on the FireFox database for something helpful to revert to the default settings, but couldnt find anything. Try checking that out if you havent already.

Backs off and leaves this one to the people that have been using Firefox a little longer than I have. :P

The problem with uninstalling firefox is that you dont lose your profile which is where all the settings are, I would reccomend backing up just your bookmarks file (probably easiest by exporting them from manage bookmarks) , and uninstalling firefox then making sure the profile folder (or maybe the whole firefox folder) is gone then installing again and importing the bookmarks file back in, you'd have to reinstall any extensions too.

The profile folder is found at C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

No worries, I'm bound to know something, the amount of times I've asked for help on here (including the old FF) lol
