C:\Users\YourProfileName\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ isn't here. I want bing GONE!
No matter what I tried, I can't get rid of Bing as my new tab. I set google as my default and removed from my choice of search engines, but it won't! I read once that if I uninstall Lavasoft it will go away, but I don't know what it is for... Help, please. Thank you. Smidthmador.
To change your new tab page, try the following:
- Type of
about:config
in the address bar of Firefox - Locate the
browser.newtab.url
string - Change the value to the URL of your new desired tab page or the default
about:newtab
page - Restart Firefox
That should change your the new tab page. If this isn't the case, please let us know.

I had to update my computer and it saved my files, but none of my favorites. Through various searches I I was able to view hidden files, then find the old bookmarks C:\Windows.old\users\robin\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles file. But now I don't know what to do with it. How can I get these in the new download of Firefox? Please help me.

Www.fling.com _ C:\Users\user\appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\i4unw84s.default\databases\http_
C:\Users\user\appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\i4unw84s.default\databases\https_cashier.bovada.lv_
Two of these databases of site are 64 KB and io_temp.sqlite files. I want to know how they were created and what information is that are stored there. I know that my boyfriend goes to the website of bovada much, but want to know if he has information of personal connection stored for two of these sites. I know that they are not cookies because I saw the list of cookies and delete the and these files are still there. I really want to know if the only way that the sites Web could be in the folder because he saved intentionally information stored on these sites and if not, then why they are part of a roaming profile?
Hello, I could not find any documentation on what the data in the profile or an io_temp.sqlitefolder - file would do in firefox (perhaps it was a first version of dom storage or indexeddb).
If you have questions about the use of these sites by your boyfriend, you should probably talk with him directly about this, instead of finding an answer in this way... -
I'm on Windows 7 OS.
I read a lot of similar and related problems anywhere as my own, but none of them has a solution that works.I get the error message saying "unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible.
I checked Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Only thing it is a folder called Firefox and in that one a file called crash report.
There is no not called "profiles.ini" file so I have no way to access the Profile Manager and uninstall + remove manually all related Firefox folders/files and reinstall Firefox does not solve my problem.
I have no idea what to do to get out of here to go to solve this problem or difficulty why Firefox doesn't work anymore even when the reinstalled.
Have you tried to rename the Mozilla folder?
Also try to delete the folder to the location of the cache in AppData\Local.

I recently used Dr Web Cure it to find Trojans and the file path he showed for the Trojan horses was user/name/appdata/roaming / / mozilla extensions and after it deleted Firefox extensions acted buggy for example I updated VTzilla and it didn't ask me to restart Firefox, so I closed Firefox and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox will be I installed the version which is and after I tried Update VTzilla again and no problem but when I updated Firefox VTzilla has been disabled and the new version 1.2 is supposed to to work with Firefox version 8 he gave me message saying its not compatible so I deleted it and reinstalled it again other that all other extensions seem to be working for now but the second extension folder is empty under user/name/appdata/roaming / / extensions mozilla so is my Firefox will to be very good or not?
Actually Firefox wasn't the real problem, it was my Windows OS, it was corrupted, I had to reinstall it.

I'm on Win7 64 bit. Initially, I uninstalled because a program has changed my page of the new tab to something unwanted and I literally had no way to change this back. Now, every time I reinstall, I get the error "cannot load the profile, it may be missing or unreachable", and I can't create a new profile. Whenever I try to any method of opening the profile editor, I get the error 'Could not load profile' then too. I can't access the folder in/appdata/roaming/mozilla at all. It is said it is accessable and access is denied, and tries to remove it tells me I have not permission (even if I'm the admin). No other difficulty I saw worked. Can someone help, please?
I have done a virus scan, cleaned up one piece of adware, rebooted, and it worked all of a sudden. I don't know what exactly caused to start working, but he did, so I consider this issue closed.

Before re-installing Firefox 19, I took by mistake backup my profile in a folder - C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and not from C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.
When installing, I chose option "Delete old profiles" and I don't see any old folder under C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles profile.
However, I have a lot of important data stored under that profile that has now been deleted.
Is there a way I can restore the old profile data? (PS: as stated above, I have a backup of the profile folder that is located under the Local Settings folder)
I'm in a desperate need for aid. Pls reply as soon as possible.
Firefox stores only cache files to the location of the local settings and not the files in the main folder of the Firefox profile.
There is no need to save this place in local contexts in any case.The main folder of the Firefox profile is in "C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > change Data" on Windows XP.
If you have deleted your personal data during the uninstallation of Firefox and do not have a backup then your only option is to use an undelete utility to see if you can recover this profile folder.

Someone at - it an idea of this error message: [access to the path 'C:\Users\User-2\AppData\Roaming\Hewlett-Packard\HPAdvisor\HPAdvisor.MainFrame.Controls.DockPopup.Main.xml' is denied.]
This happens only if I "User Account Control" is enabled in the administrator account.
Hi GA,.
Is the default Administrator account or an account that you created?
Method 1:
You can try creating another account with admin rights and see if that solves it.
If the problem does not occur, then check out the following link and follow the steps to repair the corrupted user profile:
Difficulty of a corrupted user profile
Method 2:
Also, if this problem just started, then try to perform a system restore, and check.
You can try to perform a restore of the system to a prior restore point you have been affected by the issue.
Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

Hi, I have problems on developing an image as a wallpaper on my laptop.
It comes up with 'The file that c:\users\daniel\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows Photo Gallery\Windows Photo Gallery wallpaper.jpg could not be written.
I tried right click and do it the long way to go to appearance and personalization in the control panel in the start menu. None of these work and I wonder why it's happening.
my computer is Windows vista Home premium and is about half a year. If anyone knows how to solve the problem of it not allow me to set a background please give me suggestions.
Dan
Treat it as a corrupted user file. To fix this usehttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile. Use the new administrator account to do this. Follow the directions given and everything will be fine and your new admin account should work normally. Once you have ccnfired you can access, to all your acccess all of your programs and files, you can delete the old user obsolete and corrupt.
That's all there is to it. Now that we know, this is the profile and not the system, the solution has been set for us.
I hope this helps. Feel free to post back with any questions as you go along.
Good luck!
