Downloaded Firefox 4 to my laptop running Windows 7. When the downlaod was complete, the Firefox browser launched and it was all these squares. What can I do to fix? I am not really that computer literate and this is bugging me because I prefer Mozilla over IE,

Did you check the encoding?

  • Firefox > Web Developer (or View) > Character Encoding

Make sure that UTF-16 isn't selected. Try Western (ISO-8859-1) or UTF-8 in that case.
