So researching amniotic band syndrome the other night I came across a "Known Attack Site" warning. I got the hell out of there and after I closed my browser Firefox just sits there with a pretty white page (Untitled) while IE says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I was still chatting, still able to play LOTRO, etc... Odd.
I checked my proxy settings, No Proxy, good.
I cleared the cache.
I ran scans with AVG, SpyBot, MBAM, MSE... all good.
System restore... No Help :(.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox... Nope
Then I pondered.... VB.net has a WebBrowser control... So I build a little VB web browser.
Public Class frmNav
Private Sub btnGo_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGo.Click
Me.navBrowser.Url = New System.Uri("http://" & navURLbox.Text)
End Sub
Private Sub navURLbox_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles navURLbox.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Chr(13) Then 'Chr(13) is the Enter Key
'Runs the btnGo_Click Event
btnGo_Click(Me, EventArgs.Empty)
End If
End Sub
End Class
Works perfectly but a big pain in the butt since I am no Software Engineer a little befuddling too because doesn't the WebBrowser control use IE??
All in all I want Firefox back... Any suggestions?
