Well I opened Google Docs and clicked on the 'Offline' link up top and hit accept in the popup box. It didn't freeze and let me sync my docs. I closed firefox down and restarted it and in the docs page it has the green tick there instead of the offline link confirming it was all good and working.
If was after that when I installed the other add-ons. I opened up docs and checked it again and all was good even with the other add-ons installed and running. It was only when I clicked on Tools/Gears Settings that it locked up just like it did before. I shut firefox down through task mananger, restarted it and now my docs page is back to the offline link again instead of the green tick. If I click on it and accept the box it freezes again just like it has always done since I can remember. Back to square one. :( Any ideas?
