Re: [FireFox] Power Outage (Win7 64 Ult) now Firefox is not resp Thank you.
Not what I was hoping to read, but not unexpected either.
So, (Firefox is currently uninstalled)
I need to reinstall Firefox to uninstall it INCLUDING the personal info I chose to keep before?
Then clean the Firefox (Program Files X 86) directory (delete)
then reinstall it as a normal installation?
Or do I need to clean out anywhere else also?
(Like clean out my Firefox registry entry.) |

| Where the hell did you think of those instructions??? All I said you had to do was while Firefox was installed make a new profile, and manually copy some files over from the old profile, assuming you didn't already delete it, otherwise there was no guarantee with a bad write/improper shutdown that the files would be intact.

1 edit | Thank you.
The problem is I can't open Firefox, it hangs on start up, so I can NOT get into the profile I never backed up in the first place.
(Obviously my fault)
Command Prompt/ firefox -p is not an available option to me at this point, since I already uninstalled Firefox. (But I did save everything in that directory to a USB stick)
What I was saying is I checkmarked 'save 'personal info' upon removing (uninstalling) Firefox originally, which saved a bunch of data in the Program Files (X86) Mozilla Firefox directory.
With the Program Files/X86/Mozilla Firefox directory full of (now) garbage, I figured I needed to get rid of that garbage since reinstalling Firefox just gives me the same hang I've had in the first place.
I DO know that my profile is NOT saved to Program Files (X86) Mozilla Firefox, but I'll use the links you provided me.
Anyway, thank you both for your time, and the links to mozilla.org.
I'm sorry I couldn't elaborate my problem better.
Have a beautiful day,
Sincerely,

| When you start firefox with the command line option of -p it will not load the default profile, and open it's profile manager, so if the profile is the problem then it won't be an issue unless you load that profile.
If firefox is flat out crashing even after a reinstall, and it's not profile related you should check the disk for errors, other factors including your operating system could be damaged.

| I'm running a disk scan right now, on the up side I have a pristine 1/2TB SATA drive I can utilize to do a 'Clean & Pave',
And that actually sounds like a good idea to me if I find a problem on reinstall of Firefox.
Thank you again for your time, I truly appreciate it.

I actually think that (since I contracted the Win7 Anti Virus trojan) that reinstalling Windows is best option.
(Actually the BEST option is to install Linux as my OS!)
Going to make dinner, thank you again! |
