RogueSpear Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 You know I used FireFox for quite a while even though I wasn't too happy with the way it did a lot of things. Then what happened to you happened to me. I tried everything too. Must have spent the better part of a whole day trying to find not only my bookmarks, but my settings and customizations. That's when I decided to ditch FireFox in favor of Maxthon. And I have to tell you I'm kicking myself in the a** that I didn't make the switch much sooner.

Open up task manager and look for firefox.exe. Kill all the processes, then reopen firefox. I've seen this problem when I load plugins, especially the adobe acrobat one. Only one that seems to ever really work properly is the quicktime one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Broke_My_MHZ Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I had this happen to me twice, except I didn't create a new profile. I just close firefox and then loaded it again and everything was fine. I think your profile still exists, but now firefox is using the other one by default. All you have to do is go into the profile dialogue box and select a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master$hake Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 This is happening because firefox is trying to access a profile that is still in use by your system either hung or you have a hidden process accessing your profile like AV. I usually keep a back up of my profile in case I want to reload firefox for this reason or an upgrade. http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile#locateGrab your profile uninstall and then reinstall and load your profile if the other advice here doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
