Firefox

Evenin,

Whenever Firefox updates itself, it sets everything back to default.



It resets my homepage, my addons and all my saved websites, that can be seen just below the address bar. the pic above shows it setup how i like, which has just taken me 10 minutes after Firefox did another bloody update. i have around 50 saved sites so its not fun reorganizing after the orders been screwed up. is there any way i can stop this? Before i get on a plane and go and kill the people that made ff. (yes ok that won't happen )

And if anyon was wondering, that site is my personal one.. oo00oo..

Ive had all sorts of crappy problems like this with firefox. FOr example, the one you name here, history not being recorded, auto complete not working, and auto scrolling swtiching itself off

Heres what I did

Go into c:/documents and settings/application data

Then copy the whole folder named mozilla into your desktop. Then uninstall firefox, delete your mozilla firefox directory, restart your computer, install it again, then copy your application data folder back into its original place

I think that made sence

I thought they'd finally fixed that Firefox issue - it used to pee me off too. Dare i say it, but I think IE 7 has caught up to Firefox, and is actually preferable in some respects (I still come across website functionality problems with Firefox - including the Airways IFIS site). I still use Firefox, mainly because it has all my usernames and non-critical passwords remembered, and because I like the "no script" plugin, especially with my kids using the computer. I also run my browsers from within "drop my rights", as I run XP with admin privileges. For info on this, see this article

I installed the latest version of Opera, and it looks pretty darn good, but I'm yet to give it a thorough workout.

The absolute reason i use firefox is because of the amazing adblocker.

funny that, i don't have any problems what so ever when it updates itself i get a new tab saying it has been updated, and everything else is exactly where i left it

It normally updates fine for me, but last time it screwed up. I'll try deleting the Application Data folder, and see if that will work.

Thanks,
Matt

I'm using FF without any problems. When I update I can still use all the remembered websites and passwords. So no problem here. I also use the Adblock Plus plugin and it great. haven't seen an ad for more then 2-3 months.

User Error springs to mind with this problem

I wasnt impressed to be honest, it was really slow to start up and didnt really do anything better than I.E. (at least for my use)
