qwertyui Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Ok so i was using Firefox..have been for ages so collected up all my bookmarks and stored passwords etc.. Then right now I closed firefox then I opened it again and it gave a screen saying..Creat new profile..I tried to click on the Default profile but it said it was still in use when it wasn't. Anyways the only way to open the browser was to create a new profile thing so I did...and now my Firefox is like empty. No bookmarks...no stored passwords or stored website addresses....the theme is the default one now too..and I can't seem to change back to the original profile thing whatever it is. Please help me someone, it's really bugging me! Thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZappBrannigan Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Id have a look around C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles If theres more than one folder there, then you might still have all your passwords. When i've copied my passwords from one profile to another before I copied the signons.txt and theres 3 *.db files. Also in there the bookmarks.html contains all your bookmarks.

ZappBrannigan Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 OK the default place firefox creates your profile folder is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles So if you have just created a new profile, a new folder should have appeared there. Its usually a random number.default Im hoping there is 2 folders there, one with your old profile that wont load, and the new one you've just created. You need to copy the files i said, from the old one, to the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwind Hawk Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 This happens for me once in awhile... I just go to task manager and end the process "firefox.exe" since it gets stuck there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
