Solve : F-Fox....How can I...?????

Answer»

If I run F-Fox and then close it it keeps on telling me to shut it down,if I want to start it up again.
I look what is running and F-Fox shows up,but I can not "see" it on my screen
I must have done SOMETHING wrong in the past,I have NEVER had this problem.
I know this isn`t a easy question but the guys here know so much about computers I`ll still try to get a answer...
Must I re-install and lose all my settings

PLEASE help....
Thanks and all the best : Eric.............

Usually it means some add-on(s) is giving you problem.

Close Firefox. Go Start>All Programs>Mozilla Firefox, click on Mozilla Firefox (safe mode). Same thing?Now the problem is over,I can shut it down and restart it as often as I want.
How do I transfer all my settings from the bad to the good F-Fox???(Vers.3.6).
I hope it is possible...

Thank you very much for the quick help,I wish you all the best (From Holland) :Eric...

[Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]If you're able to get into Safe Mode version of Firefox often disabling *all* the add-ons will fix this type of issue. Usually these problems are caused by incompatibilities with add-ons.Quote
Now the problem is over
In order to help you with your question about transferring settings we need to know what exactly you did to solve the issue.I did exactly what you said.I ran F-Fox in safe mode...Of COURSE I lost my settings ....But I am a step further(thank you!!!),in safe mode it does run normally...
Now I must try to find out how I can "transplant" my settings from my "bad" F-Fox to my "good"(safe) F-Fox.....
If you can give me any suggestions,I would be very thankfull...
I have customized F-Fox totally to my needs and would love to keep my settings !!!
Is there a way I can "transplant" my settings (And extensions,plug-ins,add-ons ect.ect.).

[Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]Disabling the add-ons will allow you to test to see if they're the cause of your issue and can be re-enabled. This suggestion was just to see if they were the cause of the issue. If it works I'd click the check for updates button and MAKE sure they're all up-to-date and then do a process of ELIMINATION and enable one at a time until you find the culprit causing the load issues.You didn't lose anything.
If you start Firefox in normal mode, you'll see your all add-ons are still there.
This is what you have to do.

Start Firefox in normal mode.
Manually disable all add-ons, except for ONE.
Shut FF down.
Went OK?
If so, restart FF and enable next add-on.
Shut FF down.
Did OK?
If so, restart and re-enable next add-on.....and so on until you'll find the culprit.

Main suspects - toolbars.I understand...I have to "keep fishing" till I find the bad one....
That`s smart,thanks a lot...I`ll try that...



Thanks again,greetins:Eric...............
