Did IE when Firfox 0.8 isn't working arounf the same time? It can't be the HOST file if IE works about the same time that Firefox don't. Actually Mozilla browsers don't get that tie in with HOST file.
I think you got a bad build (use another) of Firefox 0.8 if you have already try to re-install the app like you had said.
Did Opera worked? Did Mozilla worked? Did different build of Firefox 0.8 worked?

jujube: actually, the HOSTS file interacts directly with your TCP/IP stack which means that it doesn't matter what application you are using, EVERYTHING will use the HOSTS file.
It sounds like you're having problems with Firefox rather than the site. As has been said here before, the majority of our most active members use Mozilla Firefox as their primary browser (including myself) and the site looks great.
Let me ask you, had you ever had Phoenix, Firebird, or Firefox installed before? If so, you probably need to remove your old profile. You can find this profile at the following location:
c:\documents and settings\$USERNAME$\applicatio data\phoenix
Remove that directory and try again. If that doesn't help, we'll try some other things.
