System is a Compaq Presario 2100 notebook on which I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 from the Live CD.
Recently Firefox has refused to load (open up) properly. The window opens but the hard drive keeps running and running as though Firefox is still opening.
When I try any of the menu choices nothing happens. On clicking "Close window" I get a not responding message.
Don't know what has screwed up, BUT would like to know if I can uninstall Firefox and then be able to Re-install only Firefox from the Live CD?? In other words, will Synaptic (sp?) Package Manager find Firefox on the Live CD and be able to re-install it, or is the Live CD ONLY useful for making a complete installation from scratch??
Other applications seem to open up/load A-OK, example: OpenOffice WP.
