Suprash Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Bit of a weird one, today my housemate used my laptop, said he had a pop up informing him the laptop was restarting, now the only program that I know of that does this is Firefox. Anyway since that happened my laptop's wireless or local network connections couldnt see my router. Are there any known issues currently with maybe the latest Firefox update or something else I havent heard yet. I was adament to the Sky guy it wouldnt be Firefox and after removing it Im now showing connected so guess it was Firefox, but has anyone heard anything similar recently ?

RedM Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Firewall not allowing the 'updated' Firefox to connect? I'm running FF 3 on Ubuntu and Vista with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keener Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Never any issues with Firefox on my pc. Shouldn't it say 'you need to restart to complete updates' (or something like that) rather than just restarting itself? Mine does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does but it also has a timer that if you dont click restart later then it times out and does it anyway, anyway removed Firefox and its fine so re-installed now job done, still strange though.
