2) At the same time this started, I could no longer open new browser windows from hyperlinks. New tabs would work, but not windows?
Are you attempting to open the windows from within Firefox, or from your email client? If the latter, I have had this problem on a Windows 98 box and I could not fix it, so I ended up doing the dreaded re-install of Thunderbird and Firefox. And it now works, although I have yet to get flash and a few other plug-ins going in Firefox.
I have never been able to open TB links in FF directly. I have an extension for TB called launchy that has the option to open in FF, so that works okay.
I kept my profiles. But I agree with Bob, creating a new profile and copying bits of your old profile over to see what breaks may be worth investigating.
I made a new profile and ran it and everything works fine (Thanks Bob!). I would like to figure out what setting a clicked or what I did. When I run FF with the old profile, the problem is there. When I run it with the new one, it operates correctly.
I thought the new version of Java was the issue, but I don't think so, although I am currently (now that is, as opposed to yesterday) running FF with JRE 1.42 as opposed to 1.5.
If it is any consolation, I don't think it is all Firefox's fault. It may have memory leaks, but it also may not be able to manage if there is insufficient memory for it to be used. Other software may be consuming memory and it may not be able to report elegantly - hey, you need to free up some memory.
Well, I have 1 GB of RAM and my little memory meter tells me I have 300+ MB free most of the time, so that wasn't it. Just weird, and not it works, and I don't know how I broke it, so it is bound to happen again.
