Firefox won't launch on my laptop, a little box comes up that has Firefox written at the top and the message 'couldn't load XPCOM. I've done a system restore and IE opens OK but all my faves are on Firefox. any ideas please?

Type Your Answer Here...phew back on my laptop now, (glad i have the Kobo arc as back up though) thanks TTG, it was that windows update earlier i think, my typing seemed delayed and everything was slow to load.
Dot, just to say that I took your advice and got myself a Kobo Arc - and because I took a few days to think about it, I got it on the special £99 offer!
What's Kobo Arc?

well done puzzled, it is brilliant and very fast too. I love it. Any issue just nip back to the store and they will sort it or message me on here and i can probably sort it for you too,

It's a tablet from Kobo, excellent they are. mine is a 32gb, puzzled will have the 16gb.
