Eh, most Windows programs muck with file associations and leave crud in the registry. Randomly rebooting sounds like a hardware problem though. |

You don't know that It could be windows, yes, but it isn't impossible for Firefox to have been the culprit. sometimes files don't isntall right... I know that my Creative AWE64 card had to be reinstalled |

It's not Firefox, it's just Microsoft welcoming you to the world of Windows. |

The other day I was fed up with Mozilla Firefox, it was being incredibly slow and it freezes at random times for no apparent reason. After I uninstalled it I notice that it didn’t restore many of my file associations, I also noticed that it left a major amount of junk inside my registry. After about an hour or so of cleaning out my registry and repairing file extensions, my computer was finally back to normal. But that would not be the last I saw of Firefox. The next day as I was working with Visual Web Developer, it kept trying to load Firefox, which was now uninstalled. So I searched around forever and finally found where to change that. So I ask you, is Firefox really a better browser? It is more secure, I don’t doubt that, but it runs very unstable on my machine. It constantly locked up, crashed and had funky memory errors, and on several occasions caused my computer to suddenly reboot itself.
Now Internet Explorer on the other hand is insecure, but it seems to run just fine on my computer, I rarely encounter any errors on Internet Explorer, but I do hate how its CSS support is riddled with unexplained glitches and bugs. Anyway, I’m just warning you, do not try to uninstall Firefox unless you are prepared to repair your system. |
