  1. For Dennis D, I am running Firefox 2.0.0.16 and still have two problems 1-Everytime I logon I am asked to load a dictionary and 2-On my Home page (msn.com) I get a popup telling me :"aditional plugins are required to view all the elements of this page and if I try to load plugins I am tlod I have them all!.

    I thank you for your wellcome note,best regards,

    Jean Marie.

  2. Hi Jean Marie,

     

    well there is not that much to clarify, i think.

    If you do not find that Mozilla Firefox Profiler link under (your START-Button) / Programs / Mozilla Firefox,

    then make one yourself:

     

    go to your desktop, right-click and choose NEW, then click link, and you are

    presented with a form.

    If your Firefox ist installed under C:\program files\Mozilla Firefox\

    copy the following to the line (else change the path accordingly):

    "C:\program files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -ProfileManager

    (the double quotes are important!) then click next, name it Firefox Profiler and finish the form.

     

    If you want to keep your bookmarks:

    In Firefox: go to your Bookmarks-Menu, click Organize Bookmarks , then go to Import&Backup and export your bookmarks to a html-file (name it mybookmarks.html and save it to your desktop. you can import those to your new profile later).

     

    Close Firefox, wait half a minute (until windows has shut down all firefox files internally) and

    click your self-made link.

    You are then presented with a profile manager that is quite self-explanatory. Make a new profile,

    then delete the old one and finish.

     

    Start up Firefox the usual way. This should have solved your problems.

    Later import the bookmarks from the mybookmarks.html file you created (same way as exporting, but choose import html instead).

     

    that should have done it.

     

    (might be of help to print out this message for a step-by-step-reference.)

     

    good luck.

    Again hawat I thank you very much,I tried your suggestion but when I click "next" after creating the link windows tells me "that file cannot be found" ?.

    Am I doing something wrong? I did "exactly" as you said.

    Sorry for all the trouble but ... .

    hi jeanmariegobeil,

     

    actually, it can only partly:

    in CCleaner go to cleaner/applications/(Firefox/Mozilla) activate and run this cleaning option (Firefox must not be running while doing so!).

     

    you might be having problems with ff3 because this program

    will retain your personal profile while uninstalling/upgrading quickly (in case s'one accidently deinstalls firefox).

    this is -sometimes- not helpful when upgrading from previous versions (ff1,ff2) because some addons work only with older versions and some old troublesome settings might be retained.

     

    in either case what you can try:

     

    a. give ff3 another try:

    run CCleaner as described above.

    in Windows: go to START/programs/ and find the "Mozilla Firefox Profiler"-link and click it (while ff3 not running),

    Create a NEW Profile and use this as default, do not delete the old profile (for importing your bookmarks later).

    This should get rid of old settings and FF3 should work without problems.

     

    (Alternative: type in the windows commandline: C:\programs\Firefox\firefox.exe -ProfileManager

    if you have Firefox installed to another location, change the path accordingly. continue as above.).

     

    b. Uninstalling:

    same as a., but DELETE the old profile (do not create a new one if this is possible: i did not check this).

    Now deinstall from windows as usual. Please BEWARE: you will loose your bookmarks this way, if you did not export them before!

     

    (btw: the Profile-folder resides within the Firefox-folder within the Mozilla-Folder)

     

    If this was too long or complicated then my *simple answer* would be: NO, sry ;)

  4. :angry::(

    Hello, I am having problems with this program (Firefox3) and their "help" site is useless, consequently I tried uninstall-reinstall but to no avail since it reinstalls with the same problem.

    Can CCCleaner help me remove it "entirely"?. I would certqanly appreciate it, best regards,

    Jean Marie Gobeil.
