Firefox fucked by Curtis on 10-02-2006 at 10:42 PM
Well, about a week ago I reformatted my main drive and re-installed windows. Everything was going fine, but then my dad re-arranged the house a bit and my firefox is running like a peice of crap now. It's also been have corrupt file errors sayin something about profiles or w/e. It also keeps going to the page that comes up when you install foxytunes for the first time. Some of my bookmarks are also missing. I was just wondering, is it maybe going to a restore point or something? Or is it just fucked up? If you know the problem or a possible solution. Please tell me.

If you don't mind losing bookmarks, extensions, etc then do start > run > firefox.exe -ProfileManager and then delete all profiles and make a new one, set it as the default and away you go.
EDIT: Can back up your bookmarks by doing start > run > %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ picking the profile folder and copying out the bookmarks.html file, which can be re-imported when you have a working profile.

I've fixed it, thanks guys. I didn't bother saving my bookmarks. All it was was this site, a few other forums, some comics, and digg. But now I gotta find all my porn again.

What i've noticed with my firefox at times is that when I load a page, the page hops non-stop which makes it difficult for me to click a link.
