ford_rule Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 ok so this has happened a couple of times now, when i tried to load firefox a window popped up n said the account is already in use or something like that, then it says try a user and everytime i have had to make a new one, the problem is that when i do i lose all my favourites which sucks bigtime. anyone know how i can reload old users or get my favourites back?

Vape Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Close all open Firefox windows, including the download manager, whatever. Then go Start -> Run. Type "firefox[Caution: Executable File] -p" (without quotes.) Select the profile you wish to use. If the "profile is already in use" alert comes up in future, click cancel or close it or something, then press ctrl+alt+del and click the processes tab. End task on all instances of firefox[Caution: Executable File], then try again. Oh and by the way, they're called bookmarks ;) Note that this advice assumes you're using Windows XP. Edit: I forgot to go around the censor. Where the bloody hell are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
