Hi Jim,

Firstly, what version of Firefox are you running, and what add-ons do you have?  I suspect everything just needs to be updated, or possibly one of your add-ons isn't compatible with the latest version of Firefox.

Hi Simon , I have disabled all add ons & it still wont work properly, I think the version is Firefox 6, I have tried downloading new copies ,but still get the same results. I'm running Firefox 7 beta on my laptop.

Simon, when I click on the Firefox logo it takes an eternity to launch the window with Stop Script button,then when Firefox opens there is a message in the navigation bar " Firefox was not able to load Toolbar reinstall Toolbar"

OK, if you've removed all the Firefox add-ons, it must be referring to another toolbar.  If you've any idea what that might be, I'd try uninstalling it, and if it isn't essential, don't reinstall it.  I'm not a fan of third party toolbars, as they tend to clutter up the viewing area, and can also change your settings, or contain spyware.
