mozilla firefox


Question Posted Friday July 21 2006, 12:09 pm

ok um i have mozilla firefox, and like every now and then, it'll get stuck so I close it and when i click on the icon again to open it, it asks me which account I'd like to use. The one i was just on it wont let me go on. Why does this happen? Its really annoying because all the sites I went on with the other username arent on the one Im on now. Is there any way I can switch back to my other username? Please help me. ♥

It's because the program crashed but cannot completely close. End it manually.
1. Open the task manager (either right click the task bar and choose "Task Manger" or press Ctrl+Alt+Delete on your keyboard).
2. Click the "Processes" tab.
3. Click on "firefox.exe" and then the "End Process" button.

I have no idea why this happens and since it doesnt happen to me I cant find out. You could go search on the firefox faqs or its forums. I would suggest getting the useragent switcher extenstion. That might help you. It may be because firefox is still running so you could go into the windox task manager and go to the processes tab and end all firefox related things. Then see if it works.

This happens when you open two instances of firefox. It's trying to go under the default username, but since it's already in use, it uses a different one. The bookmarks are saved for each individual username. You need to switch back to the default username. Do the following...

Open the "Start" menu, select "Run" and type:

firefox.exe -profilemanager

Then select the profile you want, if the boomarks aren't in the one you select do it again and select a different one.
