Strange thing

**Buzz1927** · 05-19-2005, 10:05 AM

Something odd happened last night. I had to use IE for some reason (sorry I can't be more specific, i was a bit drunk) and when I went back to firefox, it said something about default user in use and i had to create a new user. Now when i use firefox, i haven't got any bookmarks, extensions or anything. Any ideas?

1.Don't get drunk.
2.You probably deleted them, See if you can transport them over from IE, Back to firefox in firefox's options

try this, close firefox, then open the task manager, Control+alt+delete, then go to processes, see if firefox is running, it should be "firefox.exe" right click and click end task, then try opening it up again. if firefox isnt in the list, then i dont know what to do...

Not an option. Maybe I should leave the comp turned off, tho. There was no favourites i IE.
