Firefox 2.0

Release notes

So now that this is out, how do you think it holds up to its predecessor?

I still have to download IE7 to really compare the two, but I'm enjoying the new features in Firefox.
Memory usage seems somewhat improved. I have 3 tabs open at the moment, using about 70mb of ram.
The automatic spell check is nice for certain things like posting on GFF.
And more web pages display correctly, which is always a plus.

Looks like this will be interesting. I am going to download it right now. It will be nice to see memory usage decrease a little. I only have so much RAM to spare theses days.

Nice to have spell checked installed with it. Might help some of the people who post on GFF. ;)

Firefox is certainly becoming more Opera-esque in terms of standard features. That's not necessarily a bad thing, of course.

At the risk of personal safety, I like the skin in 2.0. (I cannot, however, describe what it is about the skin that I like!)

I'd say that this is a good release.

The new skin needs a bit of time to get used to, since I've been using the 1.x one for ages. I just noticed it has an automatic spell-check. That's just plain fucking awesome!

I like the new skin. It's shiny but not sparkling, icons and proportions are designed well. Also most extensions I prefer already worked out of the box, the rest installed fine after tweaking their max version.

The new skin isn't too bad, but don't you think its a little to gray? I mean, I still love it, but this one seems a little more depressing.... or is it just me?

It looked okay I guess, but I had trouble with it "shaking" up and down while trying to view any webpages, gone back to the old version, but once I find a way to stop the "shaking" I'll be getting it again.

What do you mean by "shaking"? I haven't noticed any shaking in mine.

The web pages in the browser move up and down constantly, and it makes reading anything very difficult. I don't know a better way to describe it other than this.

Wow, that's a weird one...

About the skin being too gray: I cannot say much about the colors on Windows, since I'm using Linux with KDE and the Clearlooks engine for GTK+ programs - so pretty much all my applications are pleasantly colored.

I like the new spell check and I don't really like the new look, the icons look really dead compared to version 1.x and I can't even change my skin cuz my old ones are incompatible. But I guess they'll release updates to them once more people download 2.0.

I really don't give a damn about 'features' or anything else other than a standards-compliant browser engine. MSIE 7 doesn't have that, and while parts of Firefox are still somewhat broken, it's closer to compliance than IE will ever get.

I upgraded and it looked pretty much the same. Most of my extensions survived, though I checked just now and a couple more have been updated.

Only difference really is now I have Edit, View, History and Help in my menu again now ;(

I don't like how the tabs simply go off the edge of the window and you browse though that little arrow, though I suppose TMP is going to be updated soon; there's enough people asking for it.

I guess upgrading to 2.0 still hasn't solved my problem. I'm actually forced to use IE at the moment because I'm downloading something in Firefox, which has the random side effect of freezing all surfing capabilities (opening a new window doesn't work). I have absolutely no idea why this happens.

The freezing problem has been there since the "Bon Echo" (Alpha 2) release. To be honest, i'm not in the least bit impressed with Firefox in any of the 2x releases; all i've experienced are bugs, freezes and more crashes than I ever had even with Firefox 0.7. The totally unnecessary redesign of the icons and an inability to change the tab bar colour from its hideous cream shade was the final nail in the coffin for me while I was using Beta 2. Does the final release still have those dulled icons and that ugly tab bar?

Are you saying that this freezing occurred in versions prior to 2.0 as well? If you are, then I'm not saying it doesn't suck, I'm just saying thank god I'm not the only one. I thought it was my computer to blame.

Yeah, I've had this freezing problem in 1.5, and maybe a couple versions prior to that.

I just installed it. The first page that loaded up when I started the app the first time was indeed shaking. However, after a refresh, it stopped. Since I've been to a couple sites briefly (including GFF), I haven't noticed any more shaking, but I will need to use this more to know for certain if it is gone.

Oh, wait, nevermind, I just opened the History sidebar, and now shit is shaking again. WTF LOL. Refreshing helped, but this is ridiculous.

Double Post:
OK, so now I'm stuck with close buttons on all of my tabs and no side button for closing multiple tabs at once. Fucking fail. Why can't I turn off these close buttons? I have a working middle mouse button; I don't need a close button on each fucking tab.

The spell checker and built in undoclosetab-like functionality is great, but why can't it give me a simple option to change the close button behavior on the tabs? I'll wait until this and the shaking shit gets taken care of before I switch to Firefox 2.

Double Post:
I think I just solved the shaking problem. I needed to customize my toolbar and restore the default set. Apparently it carried over my settings from a previous Firefox installation on this machine, and it didn't like how the toolbar buttons were set up.

weird, am I the only on that have 0 problem with Firefox 2.0 beside some extension not working??

I never had that shaking problem, I still have my tab like and where they use to be and saying that the default theme is a problem is a little retard since you can change that >.>

So there's no option to turn off the x buttons on tabs yet? I dunno if I'll upgrade yet. Does it really get that much in the way?

I just found a way to revert to the FF 1.x style tab close button. Type about:config in the address bar, hit enter (or click Go), scroll down to browser.tabs.closeButtons (or use the search), double-click it, and change the value to 3.

If you don't want any close buttons on the entire tabs bar, you can use the value of 2.

See here for more info:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.tabs.closeButtons

Double Post:
FYI, my fix is officially the only way to change the behavior of the close buttons on tabs. They have no plans to change back to the old style nor even add an option in the Options menu, because supposedly that old style only caters to a minority of users. Apparently most users haven't learned to use the middle mouse button yet.

See here for more info:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324227

oh god -_- I feel stupid now XD I use the middle mouse button for opening page in new tab but never really thought it could work to close them XD but what's the urge to get rid of that x button? I don't see why it should bother...

I use lots of tabs frequently. All of those close buttons really add up in space, and allow for less tabs to be displayed at once. More importantly, I often mis-click stuff, and with all of those close buttons up there, it's like trying to navigate a minefield.

As for the use of far right close button, here's a typical scenario for me. I'm on a picture gallery with 12+ thumbnails on a page. I middle click on each the thumbnails so that the full view of each picture can open up in its own tab. If the particular server is slow to transfer data, I can then use this time to browse another site while that one loads up all of my images (because they're all open in separate tabs). When the loading is all done, I go to the first (or last) full view image.

The thing here is...I only want to skim the images to see if any of them interest me. I very briefly look at the current image, and then close it using the close button on the far right side. I repeat this for each of the 12+ tabs. Look, click close. Look, click close. And so on. Because the close button is always in the same place, I can do this very quickly.

Of course, I could always use Ctrl+W, but that will cramp my hand after a while.

Double Post:
Another pro-tip for making FF 2.0 more like FF 1.x:

To increase the number of tabs displayed at once, go into about:config and change the value of browser.tabs.tabMinWidth. I have mine set to 0, which is just like just like in 1.x (it only makes each tab as small as the icon on it).

I don't have the close tabs problem, if only because I use MiniFoxFlat, which doesn't fully support FF 2.0 right now.

All in all FF 2.0 is great, I have yet to see any bugs at all in it (and I have been using 2.0 since it went into Beta 2) and the new features are great.

The real test of 2.0 after using it for a week, would (or could) you go back to Firefox 1.5.x now? I certainly can't and that's the best complement to any new program.

I just can't wait for Firefox 3 to come out, which according to predictions should be in less than six months.

I could, because the only noticeable new feature is the close buttons on the tabs. The tab history is pretty neat, but the only time I use it is when I accidentally close a tab -- which, ironically, is always due to the new close buttons.

Plus, I spell fine without a checker :tpg:

The menus in 2.0 feel...off. It's hard to explain but I notice it the most in the bookmarks menu. It's like the content menu in folders don't line up like they used to.

Tab Mix Plus fans should try the dev build until an updated version is available on the Mozilla page. As far as I can tell, it's stable and I cannot live without single window mode.

I managed to fix my shaking problem, I just removed the bookmarks toolbar, and it stopped. So, if anyone else has this shaking problem just remove the bookmarks toolbar and you'll be fine.
Still getting used to the skin though, I liked my old one.

I'm not sure if this is a hoax or true, but I find it pretty damn funny.

I like the new Firefox 2.0. Or at least the automatic spell checker of my typing. Good shit. Looks a bit sleeker too. But that's just me.

This is going to sound a little stupid, but how do I make use of the spellchecking fucntion that comes with this?

A word not in the dictonary will be underlined red. Right click on that word and suggestions will be made available on the bottom of the menu.

Thanks for that Cetra. That spell check function is going to come in handy.

The spell checker will be grate because it will stop some people form looking like complete morons.

They still haven't fixed the memory leak, have they? :(

I love everything about FF2.0 except the new look and the message that popups up asking to restore your tabs if FF crashes or gets closed on shut down. I liked the default look of 1.5 because it fit in with my desktop theme so well. The new look is trying to be shiny, but in a bad way and the buttons look terrible. I don't care about restoring my tabs if FF gets closed, and I wish I could turn that message off.

I thought the "leak" was actually the feature that makes backward/forward page navigation super fast (relatively speaking.)

It's funny that you should complain about those features, as a good number of people I know have complained that Firefox should have them (really, restoring the last session can come in handy), namely a new/better skin.

Does anyone here know how to help me with my file downloading problems?

Im trying to pick up a torrent from tokyo toshokan, and all firefox ever does is pop up a new tab/window, as if the torrent file were a webpage, although the sceen is blank. there is no download manager popup or anything, just a blank screen.
thanks.

Check and see how your download settings are (Tools > Options > Downloads tab > View and Edit Actions button). If that's working fine, then do the ol' Right Click > Save link as. If that doesn't work...hell, you must have broke something pretty good. XD

***

As for Firefox 2.0, I waited until it was officially relased (unlike most people who saw the "ZOMG IT BE OUTS NOWZ!@121!@" type "releases" at places like slashdot) before installing it. But before that, I had a backup made - just in case. And it paid off, because even though the majority of it was A-OK, key features bombed - such as:

* firefusk. If you don't know what this is, then I won't tell you
* super dragandgo. I use this waaaaaay too much to leave it behind, and even though it had an update for FF 2, it didn't work.
* the "manditory-restore-on-reset" feature. Makes restarting a pain, mainly because I often have a few (dozen) tabs open when I have to restart to update extensions (and yes, I have an extension for restarting)

There's an edit for the last one, but I shouldn't have to hack Firefox when there should be an option for it. All in all, I'm back on 1.5.0.7.

Update on the freezing problem: Today my browser stopped responding to URL changes again, with about a dozen tabs open, and nothing was downloading.

If this becomes a daily occurrence I have serious doubts about this version remaining on my system.

What I do for troubleshooting after major version jumps is backing up my config and then start from scratch (in this case the Mozilla folder somewhere in Documents & Settings, I think, it's ~/.mozilla in Linux). Just a thought for everyone running into issues.

Thanks for that, but there is no downloads tab. There is a downloads section under the "Main" tab, but that only controls the downloads windows pop-up and saving location options. There is also another section under the "Content" tab which manages operations for certain file types. If anyone knows how to append more file types to that list, PLEASE let me know how. :)

Also, right-click>save as does not produce a desirable response. It always opens up the save dialogue, and the automatic name is "download," which then, if I click save, proceeds to not save shit.
The worst part is that this is a completely fresh install, so it doesn't make sense that I somehow broke it. :(

Again, if someone knows how to append the file types automation, this should solve my problem. Thanks.

(also, "dialogue" was not part of FF's standard spell-check dictionary. :confused: )

There's an option for it in Options... -> Main -> "When Firefox starts".

By freezing, do you mean the browser interface itself freezes where you can't click anything, scroll the window, etc? Or does your browser just randomly stop resolving URLs and you get the cannot find page errors?

I'm wanting to upgrade to 2.0 but I'm seeing a bunch of issues people are having... and the shaking thing was something I experienced by in 0.8... but I was also running WindowBlinds and once I killed it on my laptop the shaking stopped.
And on my desktop it didn't seem to be an issue (though it didn't get Firefox until 1.0 was released). And still not an issue on either of the two desktops that I have WindowBlinds installed on...

So the question is this: is anyone running WindowBlinds and seeing issues with 2.0? Thanks.

I'm not someone that browse the internet with 50 tab open or something, so the x problem doesn't apply to me but I can see why it could be a problem...

but the things weird is almost all issues people have, I didn't get any ... no shaking or anything and I'm using windowblind >.>

really the only problem I have and it's not really a problem for me, is some extension didn't work but all the one I was using regularly worked and now some a re-release to work with the 2.0 version...

I guess I'm lucky >.> but like I said i'm not an intensive user...

Since I've done what I've described in this post, I haven't had a single shaking problem. In fact, I haven't had any problems with 2.0 since the ones I solved a few posts up.

Please don't tell me they removed the "Open As" option when downloading. Currently I only get a "Save As" and "Cancel" option. Is there a way to change this hidden away in the options somewhere? My searching through the options hasn't had any luck.

"Open As"? I'm still using 1.5 and I don't see that. Do you mean the "Open with" option? =o

Yes, sorry "Open with" and oddly enough I get it with some sites and not with others. However this wasn't an issue in 1.5.

Edit: This is making my head hurt....a lot. DO WHAT I SAY AND GIVE ME THE DOWNLOAD WINDOW I WANT STUPID FIRETRUCKFOX.

I think it's depend of the file you download, like I know that all .exe file you couldn't use the open with in previous version, so I guess that in this version the "open with" function just show when a file can be open with a program and is hidden when you can't use it...

Well I'm going to blame the site because it's rare, but check it out:

http://lime-anime.com/torrent.html

Try and download one the torrents and tell me if you get a different download window than normal in FireFox 2. It didn't do this in 1.5. I've come across a few other sites which are doing the same thing.

hmmm now I see, yeah I have the same problem.. so it's either that website of firefox 2.0 ...

Hmm, this may seem trivial given the questions asked here, but does the word search have the "find next" option? I've been using 2.0 for a while now and it simply finds the word, with no other options.

If there's no way of getting what was there in 1.5, I may have to go back. Spell check is nice, but the search was much better before.

Well I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.7 and when I click on torrent links they pop up the ol' save dialog box and everything is honky dory. However, I know what you're talking about. When you suddenly get a new page full of gibberish code instead of the save dialog box. I hate that. All you have to do for that is right click and save as.

You mean this?

http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/7110/findza0.png

Torrent links work fine for me. It might depend on how the website has it MIME types set though, I'm not sure.

I like how Firefox restores all the tabs on restart if the browser/computer crashes. Saves me the trouble of reopening all those windows.

Does that option allow you to cancel it from automatically restoring every tab open?

I have that option set to "Show my home page", and I've never had Firefox restore my tabs upon re-open. It's working just like 1.x for me.

Weird. I mean, I knew it didn't restore if you completely close the program and re-open it, but since I have a few profiles I use my 'Restart Firefox' extension to skip having to choose the same profile again. The bothering thing is that the auto-restore treated it like I had an error and restored everything. D:

With a bit of tweaking, Firefox 2.0 is allright. I've fixed all of the annoying UI changes they've made - the close buttons for each tab, the list all tabs button, the minimum tab width = 100 pixels etc. It looks like Firefox 1.5 right now and I like it that way.

The most annoying of the new features is the zoom cursor over large images, regardless if the image is resized or not. I can set Firefox to load images in their right(extremely large, for example) size, but I cannot disable the zoom tool. I want big pictures and I want a regular cursor damnit :mad:

God people, if you're going to do everything you can to make Firefox 2.0 act like 1.5, uh, why the fuck did you upgrade then?

Geez, first they had an extension to add in those close buttons, now they have extensions to remove them, just can't fucking win. I hate my middle mouse button because it's a scroll wheel. I use it for that, not for the middle button, just can't remember to use it. Besides, if ever I am stuck with just the touchpad, only 2 buttons, so yeah.

I've yet to have a single issue with Firefox 2.0, I've been using the beta of it for a while, no freezing issues, no memory leaks, no shaking of stuff, and quite honestly, any UI stuff they changed up I don't mind.

Yeah it's not perfect, but it never will be, because what works for some people, doesn't work for others.

Works fine for me, I clicked a torrent, and it opened up in uTorrent just like it was supposed to. Amazingly actually, because usually it brings up a dialog that it shouldn't bring up, lol.

I suppose there will be some stuff I'll change when I get around to customizing it and whatnot, but from what I've noticed, it's fastest firefox release that I've used to this point in time, and well yeah. Then again on the other hand, I never had serious issues with firefox to begin with. It just works, and works well.

I've got my touchpad set up to middle click if I hit both buttons or tap the top left corner.

Just by chance I stumbled across this thread. I was at the end of my rope with Firefox 1.5 because my experience with it is that it's the most unstable trash I've had the displeasure of using. 2.0 seems to be running much better. I mean I can browse for 10 minutes and not get that, "Firefox has encountered a serious error LOL" dialog box effectively fucking up my downloads in the process and losing all my tabs I had. Useless crap. Thank you for a working version this time.

I was this close to going back to IE. At least it works.

IT IS A MYSTERY

MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, FIREFOX 2.0 HAS CHANGES THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO THE INTERFACE

I wonder how many people even know of those changes.

After lurking around for a while, checking on people's reactions, I'm now installing 2.0. Reporting soon.

edit: Installed. The theme is really close to what I used, I already had the close tab button extension and almost all my extensions work. Absolutely no problems to report so far.

I like how when someone keeps getting errors the majority of people don't get, he still blames the software.

Ever thought the problem could be coming from your "unstable trash" system?

Okay, I'm dying here without my Tabbrowser Extensions (that's the name of the extension) and it doesn't look like it will be updated for 2.0 any time soon. Anyone have a good alternative to this extension that is working under 2.0? I'm mostly looking for the ability to be able to set tab actions where opening a bookmark, entering a URL in the address bar or displaying a search result will automatically open a new tab rather than being opened in the current tab.

Tab Mix Plus is quite decent. I linked the dev version of it (which already works with FF2) a while back in this thread.

That's perfect, thank you.

Does anyone know if there is an extention for firefox 2 that will let you mouse over a tab and auto select it after a certain amount of time? With 1.5 there was an extention called Tab Mix Plus, that let you do that as well as a bunch of other little things like have the download window open in a tab. I just got used to these things, and when I switched to 2.0 I couldn't handle not having them. Anyone got any suggestions?

Did they remove this feature when Tab Mix Plus updated for 2.0?

In my short few days of using Firefox 2, I noticed that the program freezed up. A FUCKING lot. Almost every freeze was caused by popups, whether they slipped through my anti-spyware or were manually opened because they contained download links from sites. Finally, the frequent freezing was enough (and I didn't like the new tab manager either) so I went back to 1.5.0.7...

Tab Mix Plus wasn't updated for 2.0, or at least it hasn't been yet.

Double Post:
Also, there is no Imageshack Right-Click extention was I used to use ALL the time. So far 2.0 is just like 1.5 but with not as many/good extentions.

Try updating, I got an update message a couple of days ago.

Also try scrolling up to a few posts above, where someone named Cyrus something or other talks of a link in this thread to the dev version of that plugin which works with 2.0. Might just be an idea to try.

Ah, found a similar thing with the imageshack right-click extension =D

http://cheesypeanut.frogspawn.org/imageshack/

I think that my Firefox 2.0 may be broken. I've got ads where now where I didn't have them before. My Filterset.G got updated, and did something to my Adblock settings. I've tried to change my settings back, but it's not having it. I hate ads.

Anyone got any ideas? Or do I just go back to my old Firefox?

EDIT: I've gone back to FIrefox 1.5, and I'm still getting ads.

Filterset.G isn't totally up-to-date. Sites do change their ads, you know.

But it's the same ads that I was seeing before I got Filterset.G.

I guess I can live with it, for now. But if anyone can tell me a way to set up Adblock properly, again, it would be much appreciated.

Tell me which site you go to and I might be able to get you a new blocking rule for those ads.

Holy Zen, that's nifty. :3

Here on GFF, Mininova, Imageshack, Telegraph.co.uk, well actually more or less every site I go on has ads now, well, I can see them now.

Well that's spy/adware. I'd suggest getting some Anti-Spyware and cleansing your system.

Okay, I'll give my PC a scan.
http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/2120/adsi1.jpg http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/4723/ad2bb2.th.jpg
The first is one of the ads that I get on here, I never used to see them when my Adblock was working. And the second is pulled off imageshack, again, another site that I never saw ads on.
I think it could be more to do with my Adblock settings rather than adware/ spyware, but I'll do a scan anyway.

EDIT: Done. Nothing but cookies

EDIT 2: Seems I've managed to hide the ads on here, I blocked something called "iFrames". Still having trouble with other sites though, especially flash ads.

The Google ads are part of GFF, though I don't see why anyone should care. Personally, I hardly ever even notice them.

Strangely, after I upgraded to FF2.0, I started getting an error message when shutting down - labelled something along the lines of "XPCOM Event Receiver Error".

Dunno if its caused by FF2 - since I've been installing a bunch of softwares at the time. But after searching through the Mozillazine forums, I found others are getting the exact same error after installing Firefox 2. Anyone here have the problem?

I haven't, and I've installed it more than once. XD Were there any common factors between your setup and theirs, listed in the forums? (Extensions installed, form of shutting down ["close" vs using Windows Task Manager], so on and so forth)

nice find

i may also recommend the following extensions:
DownThemAll! - great for downloading images, i use it at 4chan a lot
Fasterfox - makes browsing the internet faster because of more concurrent connections (broadband only please)
Tab Catalog - lets you view thumbnails of all your tabs, similar to a new feature in IE

Say, was anybody else using keyboard shortcuts for using forms (like the message boxes on GFF)? You used to be able to hit alt-S to submit a message, but now it just focuses the menu bar and opens History. Anyone know how to change it back?

yea i miss doing that too!

not many people know of that shortcut :rock:

So how exactly does FasterFox work? Can I get a simple explanation?

For the last time IT DOESN'T. All it'll do is get any competent sysadmin to ban your ass.

FasterFox is the Internet Equivalent of ringing someone's doorbell 3 times a second until they show up. They might get there a tiny bit faster but they'll be pissed as hell because you're damaging their shit. It's INCREDIBLY impolite to have so many concurrent connections.

before i download, is it really that much better, necessary?

A good explanation can be found on Wikipedia. Also there's a little diagram that explains it:

http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/1...ningsvggx3.png.

To be honest, I don't really notice a difference with fasterfox on or off. I use it still as it shows a neat little timer that shows me how long it took to load the page (eg. this thread, 0.891s). I'm aware of the extra load I'll get by people browsing sites on my server with fasterfox, though I don't ban it.

Ok, a rather late update on the XPCOM error. I managed to get rid of it, and its caused by one of these things:

- the DOM window structure checker add-on/extension which comes with the browser (you'd have to uninstall it)
- Adobe Acrobat reader - updating it to the latest version seemed to have worked for some people
- Anti-phishing feature

Yep, that's it. Want to know if anyone who's not been getting the error have any of the above active? If not, I'm guessing those are the causes - anyway, haven't had the error for several weeks now. FF works once again, though 1.5 is still more stable overall, I feel (I never had trouble with javascripts before, for instance...). Still, the new features are hard to let go of.

I lol'd. I've had some stupid crashes myself, but it's only on some retarded websites (usually porn sites). The problem is definately the user, the computer, or a website coded by idiots.

hehe, the person that made me adopt Firefox years ago quoting me in the Firefox 2.0 thread. Oh, destiny ~

Sup Cam. Glad to see you around. =)

I've just updated to version 2.0 and so far it works like a charm. Now I'd like to apply some tweaks to the software, though.

Where can I find the option to set the maximum pixel width for any tab?

Ok, so I'm running Firefox 2.0 on Ubuntu here, and I am constantly trying to use the backspace button to go back in my browser. Unfortunately, all it does is bring me to the top of the web page I'm viewing. Does anyone know how I can get this to work like that?

Yeah, it's a configuration difference between the Linux and Windows version of Firefox.

You can change this in about:config under Browser.backspace_option

Setting the value to 0 will make it work like it does in Windows.

So has anyone figured out how to get keyboard shortcuts to work again? I miss them.

I'm running Firefox 2.0 on windows and when I try to download something, firefox stop working. it tries to connect to the file I want to download and it just keep searching, and then I can't get on other pages because firefox is supposedly connecting to the said website, but it just end up not working.

the only workaround I found was to run IE for my downloads or Opera, but still that sucks...

Have you tried uninstalling Firefox 2.0 completely and reinstalling it? =o

A new version of Firefox is out now; 2.0.0.1. Try upgrading.

I did. I still have my problem.

So Firefox is dead to me.

I upgraded to 2.0.0.3 a few days ago, and since then I haven't been able to connect to anything with it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but no luck. Anyone else having problems with it?

Edit:Nevermind, I figured out what's going on, but I can't get it to fix. Zone Alarm seems to not want it to connect, even though I already set it to again. Of course now ZA is acting screwy. I took it off the list so I could re-add it, and now when I try to add something, it just ignores me. :(

Zone Alarm is pretty lame. I'd recommend a switch to Nod32 with the bazillion years extension patch. =)

I have to agree with Acer here, ANY time Zone Alarm crashes, it brings down your entire internet connection (at least until you restart it). Quite annoying if you are playing WoW.
