Guest: Would your profile be read-only? Please answer the > questions < above if you're posting to this thread. And please do use some name. It's very difficult to help grey mass of guests. People get mixed. That answer the questions goes for xdoom too. Xdoom since you're registered, you can edit your old post to include the details.

I have been using firefox for quite a while now, but today i have been having problems. My brower closed and when I tried to open a new one it said I needed an ID and that the USER Id was already being used. So I created a new one, but now all my bookmarks and everything are gone! How do I fix this? I'm not sure what happenend...

So, reboot and type firefox -p to start > run. Then select default profile and start. Got em back?
It's not known what causes that, that's why there's no explanation. But next time you see that dialog, hit exit. Than start task manager (ctrl+alt+del) and kill firefox.exe process. Then start and it should use your profile.
