Firefox question...

[monk3y]

Well for some odd reason my firefox didn't let me log into my normal 'user name'... So I was forced to use a different 'default' name. As I did I've now lost all my themes and bookmarks. Anyone know how to change this back?

See if you have multiple profile folders here:
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Look in the one that has "default" in the name. In there should be the old settings.

Close firefox (make sure all firefox processes are stopped in task manager)

add the -p switch to your firefox shortcut ("C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe" -p) to open the profile chooser and try selecting the default profile again.

Whew thanks so much. It worked.

The reason why Firefox didn't let you start it as your default profile, was that there was a firefox.exe process running that locked the profile. Happened to me several times.
If you start the Task Manager (right click on taskbar, Task Manager) and kill (right click, end task) the process (Processes tab) firefox.exe, it should work ok.
You could check the box "See process from all users" if existant
