just opened firefox and for the first time asked me to choose a profile to browse with. Only one already there, default, so i clicked that and it said "can't be used, profile already in use" so i've had to create a new one and lost all my bookmarks.

Any ideas? Is sommat dodge going on?

yeah it crashes and fucks up sometimes - you need to open your task manager and make sure all instances of firefox are ended, then start it again and it should be fine. It used to do this with the mozilla browser loads, was well annoying.

ctrl alt del end all firefox processes

i think if you use task manager and cancel all firexox apps - that should sort it.

not normally this computer-illiterate, but i can't find where the profiles are kept. Ive looked in the ff folder in program files but they're not there.

Cheers pgo, but i'm not up for any dodgy world of warcraft porn
