wtf firefox just fu*ked up!

so i was watching some old topgear, and decided to check my email

opened up firefox, it tells me to choose a user profile! puzzled, i chose default, but it did not allow me to use it.

so i created something called "default user"

and all my cookies, themes, extensions, and most importantly, my organized bookmarks... ALL GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i tried searching the help, but i can't find anything called "user profile"!!!!!!

this is stressing me out! please help... i know this is not the software forum but im paniking! this sucks!
 
Assuming Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\....... is where you should be looking for your lost profile

wrong forum!!! 😛
 
That happened because firefox was still running..not sure how to get back to the default

In any case, firefox really pisses me off sometimes...on an old computer or when i'm using the cpu heavily, often times firefox will freeze up, bring up the quality control agent and proceed to crash itself..or sometimes it does it out of the blue..very annoying.
 
i tried restarting FF, and even restarting windows... still no help =(

wow what a way to begin a weekend. it'll take hours for me to re-install everything.
 
ok after about 5 minutes of panic, i went to the mozilla support forum, mozillazine

searched for "profile"... turns out that you have to run "firefox.exe -p"

then select the correct profile

ah all is good now. i hope this will help.
 
It's because it didn't completely close the last time you used it, and the default profile is still in use by the other copy. Give it the three-finger-salute and end the old process.

Every browswer has its faults. Some less than others.
