Hello denver38,

Can you check for me what your homepage(s) are, (Edit->Prefs), make sure there isn't anything funky in there causing a problem.. Do you have any extensions installed? Does starting Firefox in safe-mode rectify the problem?

Thanks again, Alex.

Hi
thanks for the quick reaction
I think I solved the problem, when I go to default Applications, my
default browser changed automatically in something like Firefox% instead
of just Firefox.
I changed it back to Firefox, and now I don't have the problem anymore.
My homepage is www.destandaard.be, but this has probably nothing to do
with it.
