Re: Upgrade to 7.10 from 7.04 via online upgrade

Charles J. Lingo said the following on 10/22/2007 04:03 PM:
I upgraded a system built on an Asus 5VPA board with an AMD K6-2/400 and
320 MB RAM which had been used by my grand daughter for web surfing and
schoolwork. It had had no problems, but the reports that I had seen
indicated that 7.10 was faster than 7.04. I expected the upgrade to
require me to answer questions and then indicate "GO" and forget the
computer until the upgrade was complete. Since the DSL line that I am
using is only slightly better than a good 56K modem, according to
KNetStats, I started at about 11 PM and checked in again in the morning.
I found the computer waiting for my permission to delete files that were
"obsolete". this happened again several times before the installer ran
and completed the install.

Since the upgrade, I have found only one major problem. The same
internet connection, Quest supplied Actiontec modem and Encore Model No.
ENRTR-104 10/100 Mb router, allows only one connection per instance of
Firefox. It does not allow links to be followed from a search engine, or
even from the "Bookmarks". When trying to follow a link the load bar at
the lower right corner goes quickly to half way and STOPS. I have not
tried the full email sytem, as I am only on the system for
administration purposes.

Any ideas on fixing this without just downloading an iso of 7.10 and
reinstalling from it would be appreciated

Try creating a new Firefox profile ...
firefox -ProfileManager
See if the problem persists in the new profile. If not, copy over your
bookmarks to the new profile and make it your default.
Let us know what happens.

HTH,
Alex
