Problem with two firefox windows opening at startup.

[Akod]

Hi everyone,
I just recovered my machine through the recovery partition on the hdd. Just after installing firefox 4 beta version, two windows of that opens any time i start my machine. I have checked through my startup items but nothing of that sort have been registered as a startup item. I don't know whether if it has got something to do with a configuration from the browser it self. Any help to make this not startup again?

FireFox should not be in the startup group...unless you have it there...also with new version updates a firefox page loads by default...until you close it out.

Unless you have anything important in Firefox, i would suggest uninstalling firefox then reinstalling. This should definetely get rid of the problem though in a sort of roundabout way. You might even be able to save settings like bookmarks and so on when uninstalling. Not sure about this though.

@patio, i have checked in the startup folder located in the start menu and also have used Tuneup startup manager also to check but nothing of that sort is there. I think i agree with Roguebantha, i would uninstall and install it back but my worry is my bookmarks. Guys thank u!

You can always backup your bookmarks

Find your profile in c:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles


You should find a folder in there with your bookmarks. Back them up to say your desktop, then uninstall firefox. Then re-install Firefox and when installed check the same folder... there will be a new folder 'bookmarks' with nothing in it.. delete that and copy in the folder you saved before. Make sure there is only one folder called 'bookmarks' with all your bookmarks in.

BTW ...Mozback works real good for this...Free...and it works for Thunderbird as well...
