Firefox configuration

[M_L_M]

Help. At sometime in the past I have mucked about with my Firefox configuration (probably in an effort to make it faster on my steam powered PC). The end result is that I can't install any new add-ins or even update existing ones. All attempts just generate error messages.

 

I have tried uninstall/and download/reinstall but to no avail

 

Is there any way to reset the configuration to the original defaults?

Hi M L M.

 

Can you tell us the error messages?

 

After you uninstall it you should run a search for leftover Firefox files and delete them.. They will most likely be in C>Program Files. Be warned though that if you do you will lose all your Bookmarks since this will remove everything.

Its here on XP

 

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

 

Delete this lot after uninstall "Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\"

 

Heed Randy's warning about losing personal settings.

 

Restart and reinstall.

 

For reference
