I have been playing on king.com for years. Now I can't and can't play at other sites that I've tried. King.com sent me an e-mail saying to reinstall my browser without any add ons, as well as their ActiveX control, which I can do by deleting the old version. They also suggest reinstalling the latest version of Flash. I don't know how to reinstall firefox, ActiveX or flash. Can you help please?

In Toronto we can play podcasts from CBC [cbc.ca] or get Sudoku pop-ups from thestar.com, but when visiting the US (where we are now) we cannot do either. I tried reloading Flash and Real player, and that worked for one day. But now we still can't get either, yet we have no trouble getting them with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. So the problem is specific to Firefox. Any suggestiions about what to do, other than switching to Google or Explorer?

Firefox from one minute to the next crashed. Everytime I opened it up, it became unresponsive. Never an error message, just a pure freeze. The CPU does not go into overdrive. I did a complete uninstall. Created a new profile. As soon as i closed my session, the problem persisted. Even in safe mode, the application freezes completely within 1-3 seconds. Using the latest firefox windows 7 up to date

I click on bookmarks; the drop down menu opens; I click on a bookmark; it opens in less than a quarter screen occupying 2 vertical inches on the left side of my screen. I can scroll from the left to right via the task bar at the bottom of this screen but there are no visible icons for simply enlarging this screen. Very annoying!

I recently changed to a wide screen monitor, hoping to use it to view multiple windows at one time. Now, however, the windows are just really wide. I tried to change the window size, but then I just ended up having to use a horizontal scroll bar-- which is really inconvenient for me. So, can I change the window settings so they just don't fill my whole screen? I'm not super computer savvy. Thanks for helping!
