I'm using Linux Mint Lisa (12) with GNOME 3 for a couple of months now. I'm impressed with the huge user support community and nice interface with the ease of using the same knowledge I had from Ubuntu. Recently the Firefox installation got somehow crapped up. It showed weird search results.
Moreover, the pages would repeatedly hang up. They would get updated (downloaded) but won't change until there was some cursor movement. It was real irritating. Thanks to "remoulder" from Linux Mint Forums, I found a nice method for repairing these things.
Close down Firefox > Press Alt + F2 > type "firefox -profilemanager" without the quotes
You'll see a default profile there. That profile is corrupted. Just create a new one using the options and start with the new one. All fixed.
