Vista Forums - View Single Post - Firefox 'firedrill' critical fix coming next week

**dk70** · 03-27-2009

Firefox has a Profile Manager for this. Sadly they dont seem too eager to promote this feature. They should when bragging about reasons to switch, It's Time to Get Personal Extension mess is no. 1 problem for Firefox. Well, check knowledgebase which has answers for most things. Profile Manager - MozillaZine Knowledge Base so just add "-P" to command line. Much the same as the Safe mode entry they put in start menu, see -safe-mode parameter in shortcut. You can have several profiles, good idea to have a "Test" one. For the strange extension you must try. Can go crazy without risk if you use profiles.

You can run multiple profile at the same time as well. Must add more parameters. Lets say you have an untouched/clean profile for testing (as to confirm Firefox has problem not your setup), called "Clean" - start it up with -P "Clean" -no-remote Also how you can run Firefox 3.1 and Firefox 3.08 on same computer without screwing up. All that matters are profiles, not what is in program files.

If you get hooked on profiles then there could be a problem with bookmarks - but there is Foxmarks and Delicious. Latest Delicious now integrates with Awesomebar - dont really work that well but eventually it will

Spywareblaster then? Does not have to be 3rd party from what the wise say but other wise people say sqlite cannot become corrupted on its own. First wise group now have doubts about that, heh. Dont know, but I do think Firefox should have build-in integrity check of those squlite files which holds most important info. Think I have seen some actions towards that in 3.1/3.5 but not sure. I use Delicious because managing 100s or 1000s of bookmarks in Firefox blows. Has all the right features after vers. 3 but try deleting/moving/copying many bookmarks, harddisk goes crazy, like Vista x10. Whole computer is close to a halt. There is something wrong... Changing to sqlite format was done to make tags etc. possible, much faster, safer and no limits - and yet it is not perfect when you start to tinker.

The extensive use of restricted site has problems with IE8 also btw, http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=46906
