Cool, thanks. Must be a bug of some sort. Usually happens to me when video is loading on a page somewhere. You?

I've never had that happen.... and I've been using Firefox for quite a while. Many people have told me that they've lost their profiles... I guess I've been lucky. :p

Of course, I make backups frequently anyway. :p

I've never lost any bookmarks, settings, etc. using Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox.

Worst that I've had happen is it's still running in the background after a crash and it loads up a default profile when I attempt to launch it again.

Wow, and here I thought Firefox was perfect... I've been using it for a year (?) or so without any problems... go figure

Actually firefox has been rock solid stable since they patched that stupid problem where it would randomly crash when printing.
