Happened twice now, as I have acronis image and returned to an image
before I updated to activesync 3.8. When I install Activesync 3.8
firefox and mozilla misbehave, in the sense that when I enter a URL
nothing happens, and likewise, when I click a link nothing happens;
this is not always, but often enough to be annoying, such as every few
minutes, or more frequently, and I've only noticed this after I
installed activesync 3.8, and it's happened twice now.

Firefox and mozilla are the latest stable releases, activesync 3.8 was
updated to from 3.7.

If you just updated Firefox to 1.0.3 it may be more to do with the Firefox
update. This was the first time since the 0.9 series that I've risked
updating on top of a previous install, and I had all manner of problems
again - extensions misbehaving, Firefox not quitting properly etc. I had to
do a full uninstall, delete profile, reinstall, and then reinstall all my
extensions to get it back to rights.

Telling which OS you use could be helpful here, but how about looking at
Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel? If you use XP there are usually
system restore points.

You do need to look for updated extensions and themes after updating
Firefox as many are version specific. I have progressively updated mine
from 0.9 to 1.0.3 and not experienced any problems once updated
extensions have been installed.
