I installed FF but it doesn't start up upon completion of the install and it won't run from the taskbar or the .exe. It just sits there.

The .exe file is just 368k -- maybe it didn't download entirely? Wondering how to get this up and running.

Thanks for your help!

I'm on Windows 7.

Thank you for your help.

I followed the instructions carefully and got the same result – the taskbar icon glows about 5 seconds like it’s trying to start and then fades off. It’s so weird. The application is 378k?

Could there be any other thing blocking it on this machine?

Thanks again. Deborah
