In addition, i tried to re-install Firefox many times, without a result. In the time these lines are written, I am using Google Chrome to surf the web. Neither proxy settings, nor the true/false ipV6 values helped.

The "symptoms" are as following:

--> The programm itself starts correctly, at usual speed, with no crashes or error messages to pop-up. --> No page is displayed, neither the home page, nor any other one. I only see a blank white page. -->The name of the starting tab, as of any other new tab I try to open is "(Untitled)" -->There is no probability of errors in the Internet Line, because I am using it right now, running Chrome. -->The full scan results are totally clean, using Panda Internet Security 2011, activated and updated. -->The Error Console shows the following messages:

Could not read chrome manifest file 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions\{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}\chrome.manifest'.

These Error messages appear in the Error Console of the just now downloaded Firefox 4.0. In the previous version, 3.6.12, before removing it, I noticed two more error messages in the error console, like the two last as listed above: With the nema ERROR.

I am forced now to use Chrome, and I dislike that! Some could suspect that Google has sabbotaged firefox to get its popularity by forcing users to change browsing programms by giving them a hidden worm..?? :P

Please, help me out anyone with good will and strong tech-knowledge.

Tasos!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
