Okay now it's working.
But I have no idea why.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Okay now it's working.
But I have no idea why.
And now it's stopped again.
Argh!
Firefox blew out my profile recently and had me start all over with a new default profile before it would load pages again.
But, frankly, I don't know how or why. And I am still kinda annoyed with it for that little trick. Which makes this a rather useless post for Tech.
I don't think I set-up a profile. Is this something I need to do, or does it just "happen".
A default profile is created for you the first time you start up Firefox. Here's some info on managing profiles.
Argh. I just spent over an hour digging through the Mozilla help files, uninstalled, reinstalled, set up a new profile, etc etc etc.
Nothing. Something to do with the new updates has fucked it up.
Welll, then I am not updateing. I'll ask Matt about it later.
Consuela, are you using Windows? Does rebooting fix the problem (at least temporarily)? If so, it could be that Firefox is not closing down correctly, and still has a process open even though you have all its windows closed. Use the Task Manager to see if there are any errant Firefox processes....
Tommyrot, that is definitely one of the problems, but the Task Manager doesn't show Firefox running. The process manager says Firefox is running but can't close it.
I'm pretty much at a loss. And very grumpy: I HATE IE.
Sorry, I was thinking of the process manager. That's odd that the process manager can't kill Firefox.
Gah, can't think of anything else....
