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!
I'm very glad that worked. I have had to do that a couple of times over the years.

So, I would probably advise you to do a new install of extensions to your new profile - because I wonder if one of those extension screwed up your previous profile.
Bookmarks should be okay, but your extensions - I would only install what you absolutely need and then be careful after that.
do I hafta?
I would.
Reformatting already feels scary to me....
Nice thing about destroying something is that you're not trying to rescue anything. If you mess up, you're no worse off than when you started.
is the program tied to me or to the machine?
It's tied to you. But you'll need the software's serial # to reinstall.
thanks, le nub. i was thinking the same thing about the extensions. i appreciate all your help!
FWIW,
I use FEBE to backup my Firefox profile and transfer extensions to a new computer. I backup my firefox profile 2x a month or so.

I have that! OK, I'll hang onto that.
I did reformat and that went fine... Oh, but if I need to download something, I'll have to reinstall the modem software, huh. Meh.
Yesterday, after driving through an area of no signal, my iPhone became convinced that it is an hour ahead of the actual time. (as in, it's 12:57 here but my phone thinks it's 1:47.) I have tried turning it off and syncing it with no luck. Any other ideas? It's weird because I haven't left this time zone in over a week.
Stephanie's phone is from the future! Pass it on.
She's out of phase! I think there was a solution for this on Star Trek, either you have to use tachyons or reverse polarity, maybe both.

And a transporter, and Data. Or some red matter.
However, if my goatee vanishes and I start being NICE, I'm going to be CRANKY.
It wasn't the rez messing with you, was it, Steph? 'Cause Navajo doesn't observe daylight savings, so it would be on Pac time...oh, wait, that's the wrong direction. I have no idea.
