 Now for some reason when i tried to start Firefox it said something about a profile.
I choose default and it said it was already in use, so i created a new profile.
THis new profile has nothing like the history of the pages i went to and all that the default profile had.

Anyway i can change the profile of Firefox back to default? . :wacko: I just got Firefox like 3 weeks ago so i dont know much about this browser :unsure:

Help me !! :$ :$ LOL

 Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE. Then go to Processes and find firefox.exe and end it's process. Then you should be able to start it as normal again. ;)

That happened to me several months ago, but that didn't restore me back to the default profile. :/

If you want to change profile make a shortcut to firefox on the desktop, then right click//properties and change the target to have -p on the end. So for me it's
Quote:
 
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p
.
That enables you to select a profile.

 Profiles are very useful, especially on multi-user OSes like OS X, Windows XP, and Linux, because each user gets their own profile. This means you can each have your own set of bookmarks, cookies, and history :)

That worked, but when I uninstalled an extension (on the default profile), I can't do anything on the default profile anymore. :(
