Cass, sweetie, what are you doing up at this ungodly hour?

Firefox won't delete your old profile, so you can retrieve your bookmarks. If you're in XP, the profiles are usually stored in c:\documents and settings\[username]\application data\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles

The profile name is a bunch of random seeming characters. If you open it, you'll find a file called bookmarks.html. You can just copy this file from the old profile to the new, and your old bookmarks will be restored. (Firefox must be closed when you do this.)

Actually that will be later. After I go back to sleep for a while.

Why does Firefox make this so crazy and difficult?

I updated Firefox on two machines and I have had no problems.

Here's the thing...I'm wondering if your Virus software is interacting with Firefox. Can you reboot your machine, shut down the virus software and firewall and then try to open firefox?

BTW, you might need to go into Program Files and look around and move Firefox related files to a different folder.

Okay, I've uninstalled Firefox and uninstalled Microsoft Anti-Spyware (I've heard twice recently that it is incompatible with some things). I exported my Bookmarks and saved the file, and then deleted the Mozilla program folder. I also deleted the Mozilla folder from Local Settings.

Now I'm going to reinstall Firefox again.

Did you get Firefox working again?

I did! I ended up turning off the Norton Security firewall (I already have ZoneAlarm's firewall going) and that seemed to do the trick.

I would dearly love to know why they suddenly decided to be incompatible, but.

Still, I'm glad I'm at least halfway tech-savvy; because if I were not, I've have given up completely and gone back to IE.

Now I just have to reinstall my extensions. I understand Session Saver has problems and there's a newer extension that's better...

I use Tab Mix for session saving and it has worked very nicely.

Generally having two comparable software firewalls on at once on the same server or station will cause problems.

Consuela,

session saver fried Firefox for me. It seems like a great extension, but I am staying FAR away from it.

If I just installed 2GB of RAM, but it's not showing up in the system profiler, what's the most likely thing I did wrong?

(I bought it from OWC, and on paper it definitely matches the specs of my machine. And it's listed on apple.com as a compatible brand, so that's clearly not the issue.)

[edit: Fixed this -- it just wasn't fully snapped into place. My thumbs hurt now.]
