    Default firefox help

    G'Day All

    After recommending Firefox I installed it and have found it excellent, however, when clicking on it, it started throwing up a error message saying google was in a redirect loop and would never load so was timed out So I deleted firefox and have tried reloading it again and still comes up with same message! Probably something I did and even reading their FAQ'S didn't tell me what to do. Would appreciate any help as IE adds are driving me mad.

    Cheers
    Bernie

    ?

    Perhaps it would help if you told us exactly what URL is coming up in the address bar?

    'Cos it's possible that it is a bug in their web page...

    Message is

    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

    Hi Bernie
    Have found Firefox great on sites built for pc that Safari on Mac can't handle.
    Make sure IE not configured to be the browser of choice. Also make sure you have the correct version for your computer. After that there is no reason why you should be getting error messages other than your server having problems. It should be a case of load and use.
    Cheers

    Go into the preferences and set your start page to blank.

    No need to thank me, Bernie... I was just being flippant.

    I am pleased to hear you got it sorted, Firefox should serve you well!
