Your Questions About Calling Thunderbird Firefox

Charles asks…
Timed Out/Server Unavalible on Firefox & IE, Thunderbird won’t work with one ISP but will work with another.
OK, here’s a fun one.
About 1 week ago, my dial-up connection slowed to a crawl. I was using FF 1.5, on a local ISP with a web accelerator add-on. I dug around the forums for ideas, and saw a new version of FF, and installed it.
After i installed FF 2.0, I could not load ANYTHING, got “timed out” and “server not found” messages.
TB 1.5 will not send nor receive e-mail.
I tried IE, same thing a happened, time out, server not found.
Called ISP, they said maybe FF 2.0 and they’re connection or web accel program “don’t get along” so i went back to ff 1.5 and removed my web accelerator program completely.
Now, with ff 1.5 it is still VERY SLOW, and TB will STILL not receive email when i dial in with my ISP.
Here’s the F-ed up part.
I tried a DIFFERENT ISP dial up, and it works GREAT! decent load time, send and receive e-mails and it NEVER times out or can’t find the server. I was on line for HOURS, and NEVER had a problem.
what is going on???? I’ve had my ISP for 5 years with no problems, then suddenly “poof” this happens.
my ISP says they’re “stumped” and i was hoping to get some idea for here, because I’ve talked to 4 different people at my ISP and NOTHING we’ve Tried works. Cleared the cache & and cookies and sock. Totally uninstalled and reinstalled IE and FF, and TB.
NAV, Spybot & Ad-Aware come up clean, both on standard load, and safe mode.
WIN2K, fully updated.
No “screwy” software, widgets, file sharing etc.
No on line gaming.
No firewall, hardware or software.
HELP ME!

Grace answers:
I am sure problem is some of FF 2.0 file will steel remain in registry so you don`t surf website properly, there are no problem in IE or any web browser, so firt take your back up, and properly format C drive(where your operating system is installed), and install again your OS, or use some registry cleaner – your problem is solve

Go to TOOLS>EXTENSIONS in Fire fox and in that select the addin/plugin you want to remove and click on uninstall at the bottom.You are done.

David asks…
Hi! Do I need to back up gmail before doing a clean reinstall?
I have used Rogers for years and know that when I wipe my computer clean then reinstall, all my emails, contacts, addresses will still be there…it is much easier that Outlook or Outlook Express. I have switched to gmail in the process of ridding myself of Rogers and so far have not been able to find out if the same applies to Google. Does anyone out there in the ether know the answer to this? I’ll be very appreciative of the help. I have called Google but they have no Customer Service…..strange for an otherwise reputable company! I may have to switch to Thunderbird ….Firefox is EXCELLENT!

Grace answers:
Gmail is a web-based email service – so even if your pc blows up or your house is hit by a meteorite, at least your email will be safe…just logon again and it will still be there (if you use an email client like Thunderbird or Outlook make sure to leave the email messages on the server)

Everything is taking too long to load. If i click on a category in yahoo q and a it takes at least thirty to sixty seconds. If I check my email it takes forever. I use Mozilla Firefox. Ninety percent of the time I get the YOUR CONNECTION HAS TIMED OUT message and have to resend.
Others have told me to check my connection.

I dont know how.
This is my bosses computer
I dont know the account number or who to call
I am using a Toshiba laptop Satellite
When I want to go on the Internet I click on VZ Access Manager
It asks do I want to connect. I click yes.
It takes me to Mozilla Firefox.
There is a thing for bars and the most I can get anywhere in my house is 2.
Verizon is involved somehow.
I want to use Thunderbird for my default email but I dont know who my ISP is. This computer was already up and running when the boss gave it to me.
I am really going crazy waiting for any and all links taking so long. This is supposed to be a fast computer. Help if you can. Thanks

Sandy asks…
Unable to connect to web-mail with outlook 2010?
I use outlook 2010 to download my email from google and yahoo. Last night I tried to install a piece of software on my computer called Gacela (market research software). It started to effect Firefox so I uninstalled it immediately. However, from the time I installed it, outlook stopped being able to access any of my webmail accounts. Outlook reports that “The server name you entered cannot be found on the network”. I even tried installing Thunderbird but it also can’t access.
I am using Outlook 2010 on a Windows 7 machine with Norton Internet Protection.
I can still access the internet as normal and see my email on the web-mail sites.
Help guys please?

Grace answers:
Outlook 2010 is still in beta, so one shouldn’t expect it to work 100%. I would uninstall Office 2010 beta and then reinstall again.
