I thought for sure that she really wanted me
I guess when I ignored her/him she/he flipped out and went a little overboard sending it to one and all ROTFLMAO -
As suggested use FEBE to back them up, that way if the worst happens you still have a backup of your bookmarks and addons.
Thank you JDPower for your tip. I was able to completely uninstall Firefox, then reinstall and then restore my bookmarks and add-ons via FEBE. The only thing I needed to do was re-enter my settings for my add-ons. All working great now.
-
Maybe check the browser.startup.homepage value in about:config ?
You can try using FEBE to backup your addons and then reinstall them, it takes only 2-3 minutes
papayes, you didn't understand what he said, did you ?
Couldn't find about:config - where is it located?
-
Reinstall won't delete your add-ons . I did this when Update Notifier(cleansoft.org) has wrong program detection especially FF 3.5.
so far,all programs running well and updated.
What exact procedure did you use to reinstall? I want to make sure I don't lose my bookmarks and addons.

I've had FF 3.5 since it was in beta and now the final release and have had zero problems until yesterday. Now every time I launch FF, the home pages of over half of my add-ons open (I have 11 add-ons). Naturally this is not good
I have not tried to uninstall and then re-install. I would rather not because I would then need to download all my add-ons again.
Any ideas?

In a future version of my AZFL program, I will be including the capability to launch the current version of both Avira AntiVir and AVG Anti-Virus. I therefore need to know the default path to launch the respective .exe file.
I thought posting here would be easier than disabling avast and downloading both programs.
Your assistance is appreciated.
EDIT: found the path to both.

Yeah, once a week is good. In my opinion, once a month is too long, and once a day is too frequent. So once a week is just right.
Not too often, not too infrequent, just right :-)
Thanks Icedrake.

ThreatFire enables you to perform a rootkit scan. As you know, there are many other rootkit scanners on the market as well (besides the built in rootkit scan as part of many anti-virus programs).
Performing a rootkit scan once a week seems about right to me. What's your opinion?

A little update on my ThreatFire experience . . .
For several months I've been using Threatfire 4.1 with absolutely no problems or conflicts whatsoever. However, just yesterday, I realized there was a newer version (4.5), so I decided to upgrade. Nothing else on my system had changed, but it immediately started flagging all sorts of things (false positives) that the earlier version hadn't. The bottom line is that it quickly became a real pain in the neck and I ended up uninstalling it and re-installing 4.1.
Of course, all of this could be totally unique to my computer, but in that I just recently posted some positive comments about this app, I thought I should share these latest developments.
Tom I have been using version 4.5.0.24 since it was released and have not experienced what you did - i.e. nothing new was flagged.

Simple but magnificent

First one for a while.
Very nice...love it!

I'm sticking with 3.0.11 till I hear better news.
3.5 works great for me

There really are a lot of plugins for PDN. I have 90 DLLs in my Effects folder, and some have more than one effect
I love the "Upload to..." plugin by Simon Brown. Really useful. With it you can upload directly any image to ImageShack, Photobucket, Tinypic, or any FTP without having to save it first.
Thanks for the tip Aethec.

YAY!! I did it according to your instructions - it works perfectly.
I copied your answer to Notepad so someday when I forget how
I'll have a reference. Thanks!EDIT:
I merged two icons and found that in order to make it a usable icon, I had to do the following:
after saving in JPG format in Paint.Net I had to convert it to the ico format using IcoFX. This worked.
I was wondering if I am missing something and could simplify the task?

It's been mentioned on here for a long time now, it's what I've been using for a long time now it seems and they've removed many bugs over the versions. I think v3.36 is the most stable they've built to date.
Evanolds Icon/Cursor Plug-in is indispensable which I wish was built in by default:
Thanks Andavari, just downloaded the plug-in. BTW, would you know if its possible to merge two pgn or ico images with Paint.Net?
-
Been using Paint.Net v3.36 for about a week now and find it to be a great image editor. Some of you may find it useful.

If you are a Mozilla Firefox fan, mark June 30 in your calendar. Mozilla is going to release the final version of its much awaited web browser Firefox 3.5 on Tuesday, June 30.
Big Firefox fan here!

Hi Johnny, welcome to the best forum in cyberspace. Good people on here.

Upon further research, e.g. google - it appears that the source I quoted may not be reliable concerning some issues.
I think the "Old", as in Old Prefetch Data, says it all. Basically not used often therefore removing it will not hurt performance.
Should have realized that the CCleaner crew knows best.
-
You can also use the "Ctrl" + Scroll wheel.
Great, thanks!

abu aufa, if you wish, give a link to your site so perhaps some members can offer suggestions based on what they see.

On doing some research on the subject I found this.... http://home.comcast.net/~SupportCD/XPMyths.html#Optimization
Scroll down about half way under the heading "Prefetch - Folder Cleaning", scroll down further to heading "CCleaner".
I could not post a quote here because the site does not want any reproduction of any page. But here is about the author:

LinkScanner stands alone once more!

Thank you Dennis for your detailed instructions on how to apply DrWeb Link Scanner to Opera. That option coupled with the security/fraud report that you can request via Alt+Enter will be very useful.
I used Firefox for quite some time but always had a really slow launch time. I decided to try Opera 10 and was very pleased with the much quicker launch time. I estimate that in my case Opera 10 launches 4 to 5 times quicker than Firefox 3.5
