FiREFLi Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Ok, so I was just reading the list your extensions thread and thought, "Alright then, I'll get some of these, they sound good". I think I might have overdone it. Is that even possible? So, I closed it completely and then went to launch it again to install my new extensions; now when I go to launch firefox it is running in the task manager but nothing actually appears on screen. As far as I can tell it can only be to do with these extensions that are trying to install, I think I got about 8-10 new ones... What can I do? :cry: Posting from IE :( Edit: I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have any effect but I have rebooted twice since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Raa Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 re-install - next time test each extension before use, but I don't see how extensions could damage it. . . well I do but, why would they. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semifamous Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 What you'll want to do is find C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME HERE\Application Data\Mozilla Rename that to somehting else and it will make a new profile. You can still save your old bookmarks.htm and other such files and copy that into the new profile folder from the old one (while Firefox is closed of course.) Just don't copy over the whole profile. That will copy over whatever is b0rked too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarStorm Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Load firefox in safe mode and disable the extensions one at a time to see which is causing the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiREFLi Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 It's all ok now. :) I backed up my profile directory and then when I heard about the 1.0.6 release just uninstalled .5 and installed .6 All my settings returned as they were before and all my new plugins were just there :o Awesome powa!

+M2Ys4U Subscriber¹ Posted July 20, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 20, 2005 Probably the fact that 1.0.5 screwed up some extensions (hence the need for .6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
