Anyone lost everything when restarting firefox? wtf - GoFuckYourself.com

Veterans Day · 10-20-2005, 05:19 PM

Strange, I restarted firefox and it went to its default install, lost all bookmarks. POS

brand0n · 10-20-2005, 05:20 PM

is it asking you to pick a user?

cont alt del, find firefox, its open and kill it.

Spunky · 10-20-2005, 05:21 PM

I had the same problem..said it was already in use ..dumped the fucker after an hour trying to figure it out

thats the crazy thing, there is only 1 instance of it open, the one I am using now to type this, and it didnt ask for a user, it opened as if it were the first time I ever installed it. Home page is mozilla.org, no bookmarks, default theme. Bah wtf

Best is to find in processes and kill the program, when you click back in it should be all set.

I have killed it 20 times now in task manager and restart, same fucking shit. Everything I had is vanished, poooooooffffffffffffffffff and opera.com server is down now

When Opera is back up..try it out..I think it's a way better browser

Tools, internet options ,programs and reset web settings..Firefux probably was your default

that has happened to me a few times. it happens sometimes when i open a video on a webpage and it crashes the browser. then you restart it and it asks you to choose a profile right?

anyway, your bookmarks are not lost. you can find them. i figured it out by going to firefox webpage and looking up the info about profiles and where profiles are stored and your bookmarks are still there.

Veterans Day · 10-20-2005, 05:54 PM

thats whats weird, never asked which profile to use, just opened it up like any other day and everything is gone

Fletch XXX · 10-20-2005, 05:56 PM

yeah i lost all my bookmarks with firefox one time.

your bookmarks are probably still there. i think i just found the file, converted it to HTML and imported them back to firefox with the import function. but if i recall, it was not obvious where the file was, i had to go to mozilla and look it up there.

I can go into my drive and navigate to were mozill is under my username and see everything, but I dont understand why when I start ff it goes to an empty default install. How do you change profiles?

Screaming · 10-20-2005, 06:25 PM

nope never had that happen

i haven't seen that error. when it prompts me to choose a profile, i was a little baffled because i began looking at how to create a profile or additional profiles and its not very clear either. also, when it happens, i can reboot my computer and it loads normally.

i wish you luck. i am sure you bookmarks are not lost. thats the most important thing. is for me anyway... i have tons of them.

georgeyw · 10-20-2005, 06:35 PM

yes has happened to me a few times - that's why i have opera installed

Lace · 10-20-2005, 06:36 PM

my damn firefox is taking up about 250mb of memory...and with only 512 in here it sucks!

xclusive · 10-20-2005, 06:38 PM

never happened to me

DavieVegas · 10-20-2005, 06:38 PM

Yup. That happened to me few days ago

Veterans Day · 10-20-2005, 07:02 PM

Opera it is, shit it feels lighter than FF right out of the box

Odin88 · 10-20-2005, 07:03 PM

Happened to me a couple of times, but each time the bookmarks magically appeared a bit later.

same here on windows...major memory leaks....there is a fix, and its "working" (went from 200+mb to like 80... but its still too much if you ask me...)

In linux, no such things...I'm in linux 90% of the time now so no biggy

FF takes like 30mb max
