That happened to me too. I think I just restarted. It happened a couple of times after that but stopped. Try making sure you have firefox updated and stuff. |

Joe, Go to this page and read the stuff about where profile related files are located, to make sure you didn't accidently move or delete anything before when you were messing with files. Then look at the area where it says What to do if my Profile is Corrupted ? You might also be able to fix the firefox with the profile manager, possibly (so try that first). http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder |
