BlueInkAlchemist 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2008 I have a serious problem on my main PC. Firefox refuses to open. It goes directly to the crash report, listing the add-ons that failed on startup. I managed to launch it from the Run window into Safe Mode, and again it crashed immediately, but this time only listed one add-on: MovePlayer. The uninstall instructions I found require a Firefox capable of loading. I'm running Windows XP and have no listing for Move in my Add/Remove Programs dialog. What's my next step?

minimcmonkey 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2008 Reinstall firefox.im presume you mean the plugin itself wont show up, it wouldnt, its not really i programme in its own right.Try uninstalling firefox, and reinstall, making sure you have the most recent version.

Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted September 19, 2008 No, you want to reset your firefox profile and then disable all the extensions and add-ons that you have, but of course you can create a new profile as well to help solve your problem. Go here to create a new firefox profile after disabling everything that you can.Of course, your not the only one having this problem, but alas no solution showed up for it that I have found so far.

freeflashclocks 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) You could try to find where the add-on files are installed, then you could delete them just to try to see if firefox loads, then do it again and again, if you understand a litle bit about informatics and firefox, you will delete the right files, but if you do not feel safe to do it, forget about it.Also search google to search for a new program, if exists of course, that it disables firefox add-on's without firefox beeing open, i am sure that you could be luky, i had been luky many times in the past with small things like this case of yours, and you could be too.

Thanks, Saint. I got Firefox to load by creating a new profile. How do I reset the old one? Also, can I import saved passwords as well as bookmarks from an old profile to a new one?Also, I'm the one who posted that on Mozilla's support site. I'm as disappointed as you are.

Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 Can't remember how but if you go to the first link and search around a bit you can find a way to reset the old profile and to answer your other question, not that I am aware of unless you export everything or using the FEBE extension because one you reset your profile you lose everything.
