• How can I get rid of all that have hijacked my Firefox home page and replaced by a Bank of America login page?

  How can I get rid of all that have hijacked my homepage in Firefox 12 and replaced by a login page "Bank of America"? I have reset my home page in Options, but it does not help. I suspect that there is an entry of thugs in my Windows Vista registry. I tried to get rid of it with several antivirus programs, including MS Security Essentials, Avast, Spyware Doctor and Malwarebytes, but none removed the offending attacker. Help would be appreciated.

• All IT gurus out there who know Firefox... have lost the passwords saved when FF created a new profile and delete old files key3.dbf and logins.json profile.

  All IT gurus out there who know Firefox... have lost the passwords saved when FF created a new profile and delete old files key3.dbf and logins.json profile. Any ideas, anyone?

  So it's not a logins.json file?

  I see a signons3.txt file and a file signons.sqlite older, if you can try to see if you can import passwords stored in this file.

  You can force Firefox to re-import the passwords in the file signons.sqlite and regenerate the file logins.json with the following steps:

  • reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the topic: config page by default via the context menu
  • Delete the logins.json file in the closed Firefox with Firefox profile folder

  When you restart Firefox, then you should have the pref signon.importedFromSqlite with the value set to true.
  You have passwords that are imported in the password manager, unless there were errors or signons.sqlite signons3.txt.

  You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
  You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

• Why firefox makes several profiles

  My name is Mike from the Support of YER section.
  We have over and over again a user with the same problem.
  Our employees have a roaming profile with multiple browsers, but it uses Firefox that causes a problem.

  There's a datalimit on our user profiles. The problem is that Firefox uses all the space in the user profile.
  This causes an error of storage space, every two days.
  To solve it, I open the Firefox profile manager, multiple profiles are visible. So I delete unused profiles. But it is temporary, because in a few days, the user communicates with us with the same problem.
  I also tried to move the profile of its documents with the Profile Manager to free up space, also this does not solve the problem because Firefox new profiles over and over again.

  This user is the only one with this problem, and we cannot find a solution.
  We thought that maybe it has something to do with the synchronization between multiple devices, but it uses the Firefox profile on his work computer.

  I hope you can help me solve this problem. Maybe you can explain why Firefox creates several profiles, or maybe we can change the path of the Firefox profile, for all profiles including new ones that are created.

  Thank you!

  I googled and used solutions of mozilla for safe mode, delete and create a new profile (deleted all files) disabled all the plugins. I discovered a problem where clicking on ask to activate does not drop down to select another option. I tried the plugins folder thought I could delete all the plugins and start again. Nothing I've tried has worked at all. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. I noticed that the version installed is under program (x 86), which is where I thought that 32-bit applications are implemented?
