opens/ program runs and minimzes maximizes and closes, yet every other part if the program doesnt work
i can open/ run firefox. it can be maximized or resized no problem. links on desktop will open. yet when i go to click on the search bar, or on anything the main frame is un responsive. i have reinstalled previous versions and the most resent. nothing fixes the problem. i love using firefox and tend to have little to no problems. to recap. it starts up, can be resized or close, yet nothing not even the help button can be clicked. what can i do? does this mean i need to use opera or ie to access the internet now. oh nooooo.

how i fixed this problem:
-uninstalled/ reinstalled Firefox 16.0.1 twice (problem was still there)
-uninstalled Firefox and checked off remove personal settings/ bookmarks
-used cell to download previous Firefox 15.0.1 (USB transferred .exe to desktop)
-then i cleared my %temp% + my recycle bin
-ran (one by one) AdAware + McAfee + TrendMicro Housecall virus software
-i then purposelessly hard crashed laptop twice during boot
-ran boot recovery
-ran (one by one) disk clean up + disk defrag
-rebooted
-reinstalled Firefox 15.0.1 (aka older version) (checked and saw it worked)
-rebooted
it took 7 hours to fix (i was playing games on another console half the time). as it is all works fine, again. some bookmarks still missing (on the weekend i weekly/bi-weekly backup bookmarks). oh well atleast i can still use Firefox. i think the problem was due to a theme that 16.0.1 couldn't properly run, so it corrupted the whole program interface. geek power geek love.
