Firefox won't run more than 1 instance by .blade// on 03-27-2005 at 01:47 AM
Firefox stopped letting me open new windows/pop-ups earlier (it's not the pop-up blocker doing this -_-). Would anyone have an idea why? I'm scanning for ad/spyware now.

I wouldn't have posted if it was that simple

Don't take it the wrong way - I was just pointing out that I tried them

When you reinstalled it and all, did you delete the old files (including "AppData")?

profiles are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\WINUSERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\funkynumbers.nameofprofile

Creating a New Mozilla Firefoz profile
======================================
1) Select Start > Run... from the Windows Start menu.
2) Enter firefox.exe -profilemanager and press OK.

Ok guys - I tried the profile manager (which didn't want to load) along with a lot of other things. I just deleted all the registry entries/program files and am re-installing firefox as we speak. I hope THAT works
Update: Someone at the mozilla.org forums helped me fix it!

Not a clue, but deleting my profile fixed it
