Firefox resets itself. . .

Fri, 2007-04-20 13:01 - Topics:

I've been running Vista Ultimate since early December (RTM) with few problems. I have been using Firefox for years with no problems.

That is until last week or so. Now when I start Firefox in Vista I have a few problems:

1. Sometimes Firefox doesn't start at all. The process starts, but the window doesn't launch.

2. If I get the window to launch, all my add-on settings have reset themselves, my home page reset itself, and my other settings have reset itself.

Sometimes firefox starts up fine. Other times I encounter one of the two problems listed above.

I have uninstalled firefox, deleted all folders pertaining to Mozilla, reinstalled firefox, the add-ons, and what not. Still to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Sometimes Firefox doesn't start at all...

I have the same problem. I'm working with Vista Business since spring, but these problems are not older than a few weeks. Sometimes Firefox doesn't start, all I can do is restart the PC. This is quite annoying. Additionally, I experienced similar problems with Thunderbird.

Your post is quite old. Did you solve your problem?

The only similarity I see is the "age" of our Vista installations.

Against all advice, I tried to bite my way through Vista since several months. Now I'm about to give up. :-(

Free Firefox Add-Ons Help Internet Businesses
If you are not familiar with how Firefox add-ons work, here is a quick introduction. Firefox is a free browser that anyone can use. But unlike other browsers, Firefox allows third party developers to come up with useful applications. These applications can be installed on the browser, and they appear to be part of the browser. For this reason, they are also commonly referred to as Firefox extensions.
