I installed FF 1.0 today. I uninstalled the PR version, and delted the Firefox directories in my program files, the Firefox folder in my Documents and Settings, and the Phoenix folder too. I wanted a clean install. It wasn't that clean, because all of my bookmarks and extensions were there, but that's cool.

When I click to try to view my extensions, nothing happens. My hourglass goes, something is happening, but eventually I get my cursor back and I can't view my extensions. I can see them if I try to uninstall them, but I can't view them normally.

I tried to install exrtensions, and I see the window, press install, but the extensions don't install.

So I thought I'd creat a new profile, so when I try to run firefox.exe -p firefox starts normally. It doesn't give me the option to create a new profile.

Oh, I'm running XP SP2.

Anybody know how to fix this?

OK this same thing happen to me in the past. In my case it was a theme I had installed and using when I uninstalled FireFox and reinstalled the newer version then it was still trying to use that theme, which evidently wasn't completely compatible with the newer version. What I did was went to my profile and deleted the theme so when FireFox restarted it defaulted back to the default theme. I had tried safe mode but it still wasn't able to display my extensions or themes. My themes was located here C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\whateverxxdefault\chrome I would give that a try. It worked for me.

When I go into my \$Your User Name$\ folder there is not folder named Application Data.  Is there any other way to fix the extension problem.  Can I get rid of everything and start over?

Nevermind I am a moron! :happy: The application data folder was hidden. All is well now thanks!

    • low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.
    • I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.
    • You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
