Perhaps the machine itself is at fault and not Firefox? What debugging steps have you done - besides uninstalling/reinstalling?
I run and support it on a variety of machines. If these are Windows systems, have you checked for the latest and greatest Windows updates? That seems to resolve about 98% of system related problems. Quite often, uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't do much, except take some time. As others have suggested in some other thread, how about creating a new profile?

Although I haven't experienced your problem, I have found firefox to be problematic on various machines. Particularly in older installations or older computers. It just loses functions. Often re installation doesn't help. db Jordan wrote: > I'm on a Mac running Firefox and also had trouble viewing a couple > pdfs in the browser yesterday.
