doesn't load any page as commom user, runs smoothly as administrator
I have been running Firefox for ages now, no problems thusfar. All of a sudden it doesn't load any page when I run FF as normal user. If I run FF as admin, everything runs as it should.

Hello Tyler. Thank you for your prompt reply.
Unfortunally your suggestions don't solve the problem. I found out it is in the virus-protection (AVG). Once I disabled AVG, FF runs as it should. One way or another AVG doesn't like FF.
Thinking back, the problem started with upgrading AVG Free to the paid-for version. I will email AVG. If the problem is solved, I'll send another reply. SeeYou, Willem

First, try to reset Firefox. Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings. This simple step will eliminate many Firefox problems with only one click.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this: Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/.
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
