FIREFOX CANNOT FIND MY PROFILE
OK so I have a weird FF problem where the old installation of FF would not be in service due to a starter kit on the computer of my EU who had been abducted, but broke things endangered. I googled and found the path to the profile of its FF and backed it up to an external HARD drive. Then I reloaded FF on a new installation of Windows 7 the former was borked. I installed FF and then closed, followed the same path and deleted the new default profile and stuck in the past.
Then I loaded et seq. that never come and but gave me a dialog box saying that it did not find my user profile. I thought: "no prob - I'll try it just a different way." Then uninstalled, FF and re-installed again. Same message, so I followed the path that I let down the profile info on and remove profile information, uninstalled then re-installed FF and guess what? Yes... same message... why I can't get a new copy of work?
Why is it still ffcrying after that I rinsed the program and reload a new installation?
You will need to copy the file profiles.ini so to find the Firefox profile.
- %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile >.
Note that you can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and click on the button "Choose a folder" and go to the profile copied to make Firefox to use this profile.

Hello. I find a strange behavior of Firefox v21. If the 'windows' path used *.htm file slashes to the java scripts (on Unix, hosting with apache). Firefox says 404, but other browsers (such as Opera, Chrome, IE10) works properly with this.
You should use slashes in links so that they work properly in Firefox, otherwise Firefox will escape them that 5% C as you can see if you would them hover in the case of a real link (this is obviously not possible in this case).

Firefox says that he can not find xpcom_core.dll. The file is all three directories, for example, firefox, thunderbird, and Sundial. The error occurs several times in a row.
This has happened
Each time Firefox opened
== from 3.6.3 has been installed
The file last xpcom_core.dll used in versions of Firefox 2.0.0.x and is more present and used in current versions of Firefox.
You seem to have a program or an add-on that is always looking for this file.
You must uninstall this program.See troubleshooting questions with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems
See Troubleshooting extensions and themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems -
When this happens, the browser tends to crash for a few seconds and no other tabs can be selected. I tried to uninstall and reinstall firefox. I have the latest version of firefox (3.6.3)

After turning on my computer, I try to connect with our user account. an icon appears and says that the user profile is damaged and there could be a security issue. the following icon says that it cannot find the profile of the user and that a temporary profile has been put up. I'm trying to get back access to the user profile because he has sensitive information at the time that must be consulted, photos of family and passwords important programs. I need to know that if there is a way to restore the user profile and retrieve information, the user profile of temporay gives access to certain programs and software, but not the critics.
The following procedure, you should get pretty quickly:
"How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >Damaged profiles are almost always accompanied with alteration of the disc. In addition to the above (or sometimes instead of him), a check disk with the /f or/r option is highly recommended. Note that on a large drive or a drive with a lot of problems this audit can take hours and you cannot use your machine while it is in progress. In addition, there is a small chance that it may be worse, so now is a great time to update your backups.
