An extension failed and all lost, my compliments Mozilla!!

Post by Barabba »

Great great day for me! Thank you Mozilla a lot!!
I've lost all the sessions, even if I use Session manager extension and it saved many files for backup in different days!

You had the BRILLANT idea to create a new folder for profiles and DELETE the old one with all the settings and backup files. Even if I recovered deleted files they are unusable because they are corrupted. So I LOST EVERYTHING and I don't know what important pages I was visiting and work to finish, MY COMPLIMENTS!! THANK YOU!!!

GREAT IDEA TO DELETE THE OLD FOLDER!!!!!! While you have NO REASONS to delete it when firefox is about to "restore" itself.

Checked your Desktop for the Firefox folder that contains your old profile yet?

Thank you, I found it, between all icons I've on desktop. I apologize but would firefox tell about it with a popup, before worring that much. I can't read the "about" of all the programs I use, I just confide they are not that crazy to delete personal datas.

Thank you again!

No problem, you made an understandable assumption.

We all think that it should be made far clearer to users exactly what Firefox has done with the original profile, if it finds it necessary to replace it.

Thank you again!
