Hi Alexander,
After a lot of investigation I think I finally found the
answer to my problem. I completely re-installed Ubuntu 7.1 - this time from a
live CD and not an upgrade over the internet! I then disabled ALL updates under
SYSTEM-ADMINISTRATION-SOFTWARE SOURCES except "UBUNTU SECURITY UPDATES
(GUTSY-SECURITY)". I then allowed the recommended updates and now Firefox
2.0.0.11 is working 100%. It is thus obvious that there is software updates
from the other repositories that is causing this problem with 2.0.0.11 but NOT
with the older versions of Firefox. Allowing these "other" updates again causes
the same problem. To confirm this I even did the same thing on a completely
different desktop computer with the same results. It thus seems that the
problem is with some other piece of software but to find that is going to be
near impossible.
Lesson learned? Don't allow just ANY update on your computer!!!! Rather stick
with those from Ubuntu security updates only. I therefor consider this problem
solved and thank you for your help. I hope this info will be of value to other
Ubuntu 7.1 users.

vodacom4me.co.za) dont display as before. Cannot log in to this site now.
