Yes, that's exactly what I've been trying to do the past week or so. Not a fun endeavour, though. Lots of stuff to import and to re-do. Lots of my work lost, as well. :-( Anyway, I like using Mozilla Firefox enough to think that it's worth re-building a new profile. Richard: Thanks.

I'd try exporting your settings from the user profile that does work, then reinstalling from scratch. The problem sounds like it could be with your Firefox profile.

I tried it - but Firefox still wouldn't come up for me. :( However, when logging in using another profile (not the Admin one I'm currently using), it seems to come up without a problem. So, I don't really know what's up. Ack. Brad: Thanks for the tip. I tried it – but Firefox still wouldn’t come up for me. :(

It seems the system process gets hung up for some reason. What I do is go into Widows Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del) under the process tab and find the "firefox.exe" (its usually still running) I select it and click the "end process" button. Firefox starts right up after I do this. Again, not sure if this is the problem you're having but it might be worth trying. Hope it helps! Hi Shai,
