FireFox is restoring to default
« on: May 31, 2009, 06:26:16 AM »
For some reason, every week or so, my FireFox keeps setting the toolbars back to default, and whiping my AdBlockPlus filters. Is there any way to stop this, as it is really annoying to keep adding my filters again.

Without any more insight to the problem, I can only suggest disabling all add-ons except AdBlockPlus and see if it still happens. It might be a conflict between addons.

I just uninstalled a few of my addons, I didn't use most of them anyway...

I've followed Carbon's idea right now, (I didn't need them all anyway) and it hasn't reset since, but like I said, it only resets about once a week...But in case that fails, how would I get around to doing that patio?

EDIT: My AdblockPlus filters are restoring still...How can I stop it?
