Mozilla/Firefox help

atatange1 · 09-27-2005, 04:57 PM

I was wondering if any of you guys could help me. I was using Firefox in the morning, later in the morning I tried to open Firefox again but it said the browser/user was busy so I had to create a new user profile. That defaulted all my settings, I just want to know how to switch back to the original profile with all my bookmarks and such, it must be easy but i'm missing it. Thanks.

i've found that when this happens it's in one of the rare instances where firefox has hungup somewhere in the background. just ctl-alt-del and in task manager you will prolly see a firefox.exe still open. terminate it and you're good to go.

A reboot always works for me when that happens...

I think it's to late for that, I'm now browsing w/ the new user that has none of my old info.

Go into Documents and Settings/Application Data/Mozilla - your profiles will be there, and you can overwrite bookmarks and such.

And this is what I do as well.

and yep, that's how you can do that to delete the new user name that you created

Thanks for all the help guys. I ended up getting it back with Mozilla's FASQ Start ->Run firefox.exe -p
