Firefox not working on Win7!

[Schwartz]

**FIXED**


Hi guys,
so I have been using firefox for quite a bit now. Today I installed thunderbird. That never opened as it kept "not responding".. then I try open Firefox and it never opens. It is not in my processes or anything.

I have:
Restarted
Reinstalled

Dont know what to do
Help
Thanks

Possible corrupt profile. If you delete your Mozilla folder (c:\users\username\appdata\roaming) it might fix it. Note this will delete all preferences, bookmarks, saved passwords etc. so maybe copy it somewhere first in case you need to retrieve something.

I dont want to delete that stuff as I have important bookmarks that I will need to retrieve!

BTW, I am now running it in Safe Mode which means it must be something else. Is there a way to save all your bookmarks WITHOUT copy/paste each url?

EDIT: Working now... thanks anyway

They're all stored in .json files
c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\*random*.default\bookmarkbackups\
Or export them if you can open FF?

Stop using Firefox.

*ducks from lynching attempts*

Try Opera.

Try the Xmarks plugin.

FEBE, FF add-on works great. I always use it before a fresh install.

How?

XMarks is awesome. Though I'll never get rid of all those ooooooold bookmarks I never use now.

How?

ran it in safe mode and then it worked in normal after that:erm:

I had trouble in keeping my browser cessions active, that is until I gave FF permission in the firewall settings. Seems to be working fine now.
