Bye bye, Love

November 8, 2005

I hate getting back to work and knowing that someone was on my computer and borked some stuff up. But how, I wonder, would someone be able to completely lose all of my Firefox profile settings?

Thank goodness for backups.

I've noticed an occassional bug with FireFox that I haven't been able to reproduce on command that causes FireFox to ask for a profile log-in for no reason whatsoever, and everything is lost when it does that. Shutting down FireFox and starting over usually fixes it, but it's frustrating nonetheless.

The problem is that there's a version of firefox that's currently 'hung' on startup. Since locking the profile is one of the first steps, it tends to bugger things up.

I fix it by opening up the Task Manager, clicking on the /Processes\ tab (sorting by Image Name) and ending all Firefox processes.

I agree it's annoying, and I have no idea what's hanging it, but that fixes the problem.

I was just sitting here at work and remembered your wonderful site. So I decided to pop on and say hey!! How are ya doin?? Would love to see ya. Hey I was having to gather all concerto comp winners from the beginning of time and I came across your brother.. IT was so strange.. But ya.. Anywho Later
