Firefox - wtf

jroy · Jun 22, 2005

FireFox just reset everything, it changed the theme back to the default one, erased my history, my cookies, and my bookmarks??? Do I have a virus or something? Does anyone know what caused this?

Well, I think it could be a virus maybe spyware, are you useing a proxy?

Happened to me too last week and a month or two ago too

.

It just works normally, then I closed it and opened FF again and it asked me to choose the profile. I chose my name and it said something was wrong, like an error or something. I then chose "Default Profile" and it worked, and the incident last month all my bookmarks were gone and a couple of days ago, my bookmarks were intact but the themes and everything was reset.

That happened to me.
Anyone know how to change profiles on Firefox without this happening for future know how.

Ya, this has happened to me before, but its not a virus or spyware or anything. It is a glitch between Windows and FireFox. No real way to prevent it, except making backups.

I'm sure this will be fixed soon enough, although it hasn't happened to me. You'd better check bugzilla to be sure it's reported already, and see what they've said about it.

This has never happened to me before.

I think Microsoft and Internet Explorer should be cencored out and replaced with Mozilla and Firefox here on namepros :p
