What do you mean by profile? When you install Firefox, it installs in two places. Firefox itself installs in the programs directory (on Windows, \Program Files\Mozilla Firefox). User data, such as your preferences, bookmarks and installed addons go in a profile directory created by the installation. Under Windows, this is created under the \Documents and Settings\<userid>\Local Settings\ hierarchy. (for 2K/XP. Vista/Win7 use a different location.) It's possible for the profile to get corrupted with odd effects in Firefox or extensions resulting. One test is to create a fresh profile. If you invoke Firefox with the -p command line parameter, as in "firefox.exe -p", it will start in ProfileManager mode. From ProfileManager, you can create a new profile, rename an existing one, or delete an existing one. You can also specify where the profile directory is created. I don't care for the default location of profiles used by Mozilla, so I use this to create them under \Mozilla\Profiles\<product>\<version>\<ProfileName> If you have more than one profile, you can specify with Firefox should use with "firefox,exe -p <ProfileName>" I have an assortment of custom shortcuts to do things like that. >> jjb ______ Dennis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
