    Firefox tab problems

    Housemate has ff 2.0.0.2 and if he has a number of tabs open, they will randomly just stop opening. I.e. he is on a tab and wants to click on another...nothing happens. He can only get to the tab by closing all tabs to the right of it.

    Also in ff, sometimes when he tries to save a file and the "do you want to open this or save it bla bla" thing comes up, he can't click OK. This sometimes happens to me, but clicking away and back usually resolves it, but doesn't work for him.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers.

    Click OK twice doesn't work?

    Try clearing the cache, and failing that, backup bookmarks and such, and delete the profile (you won't need to uninstall the program itself) - profile here: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\random name.default
