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.

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 ).
