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!

    • There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
