df_dukkar Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 hi all, today while i was using firefox after closing the browser the next time when i restarted the thing, it said that the profile was in use and prompted me to create a new profile. i had earlier faced a similar problem with netscape. is there any way to stop using profiles in firefox ?? also, how do i use my previous profile. i have all my bookmarks stored on that... please help..

keithy397 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Firefox does that when it doesn't close properly. If it happens again go to the Processes tab in the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and where there is an instance of firefox.exe - select line and End Process. Firefox will open normally again now if you did not create another profile. If you created another profile - Click - Start > Run > (type) firefox.exe -p (firefox[dot]exe[space]-p) and this will open your Profile Manager where you can select your previous profile, or Create, Delete and Rename profiles. Note, Firefox must be closed properly before doing this otherwise it won't open your PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
