I never said it was repairing my broken browser. It was simply making it run better for obvious reasons. Thanks for your imput tho - that makes sense.

Oh cool! Thank you MTA :-D

Thanks for such quick feedback and patience with me, you have both been super helpful. I'm feeling pretty good about this reset so far. I've almost got all my addons installed. Everything seems to have updated a lot anyway, and is moving a lot faster now. I have a feeling it was just necessary maintenance and things will probably work fine from here on for a while. Here's hoping! PS. My mother has been into computers for pretty much her whole life. As I've gotten older I've been able to find cool addons and websites that seem to impress her enough to claim I'm good with computers, but I'm no fool. I know that my gen's version of "good with computers" is nothing compared to those who have come before me. There has been so much work that has been done. I'm no pioneer. I just like to find cool stuff made by others. Just sharing for the sake of it - sorry I got off-topic.

ahh.... ehhhh...........it's easier for me to just redo everything. bleh. ill try it and see if i lose another session again i guess. ><

Yea, Winapp, it's been set to that and still is. Good tip to look for, though. MTA, why do I need to clear everything out and make a new profile completely on my browser? I'm curious what that would remedy. I have things set to what I want them to be, and I don't mind redoing it all if I need to because I can remember how to set it back up. It's just annoying and takes up time. :-p

Hi, new user to the forum - I thought I would jump on here to ask if anyone else has been experiencing a recent issue with the session-restore feature not working after a crash and ccleaner being used? I have done this many times in the past, because my computer is on the slow side and my mozilla will freeze or get super slow from day-to-day, which is why I love Ccleaner. In the past, what ends up happening is that my browser is so slow that ccleaner will open, but the "run cleaner" button will not become clickable until I right-click on my date/time on the toolbar, go to "start task manager", and manually end the process for firefox from the system processes list. In the past, I have ended the task, ran the cleaner, and restarted the browser with no troubles and my session still intact. I have double-checked when this has happened (second time now) and "session" is NOT checked off on the list for things to remove from mozilla. I don't think it has anything to do with the cookies list that is being posted about on this forum, because when I went to my gmail homepage when I started with a blank browser open, my previous login screenname was still showing on gmail. So, I don't think it's wiping all the popular cookies that it has learned to remember on my computer. I wouldn't bother with caring enough about this to post, but I use so many tabs, and tabgroups, that it's just that frustrating to lose my entire session. Any help would be much appreciated!
