Firefox Officially Hates Me

Postby Myoti » Wed Jul 19, 2006 8:18 pm

I was running about three tabs when the sites suddenly wouldn't work anymore. So I closed the program, but when I tried to get back in, it claimed the default user (just named "Me") was already in use and wouldn't allow me back in.

So, I made another user, but now I've lost access to all of my Bookmarks and whatnot.

What just happened, and how can I fix it? O.o

Tried that. No good. My bookmarks are still gone and it won't allow me to change the "user" on Firefox (or whatever that was).

Ooh, I think Volt offered a tutoral on getting your account back (cause once it's gone, it's almost impossible to get it back unless you follow his awsome directions.)

It's happened to me before but I got used to my new account before I found out I could go back (but now it brokw again and now i'm back to the old one, go figure)

Edit: Well its doesnt say how, but you can prevent it from happening again.

When you find yourself in the company of a halfling and an ill-tempered
Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon...
...you just have to outrun the halfling.

Thank you Locke. By following that, I ended up being able to get everything back. Volt is a saviour (I wish he were still here so I could thank him =o ).
