F-Fox....How can I...????

[Eric1611]

If I run F-Fox and then close it it keeps on telling me to shut it down,if I want to start it up again.
I look what is running and F-Fox shows up,but I can not "see" it on my screen
I must have done something wrong in the past,I have NEVER had this problem.
I know this isn`t a easy question but the guys here know so much about computers I`ll still try to get a answer...
Must I re-install and lose all my settings

                     Please help....
                                                Thanks and all the best : Eric.............

Usually it means some add-on(s) is giving you problem.

Close Firefox. Go Start>All Programs>Mozilla Firefox, click on Mozilla Firefox (safe mode). Same thing?

[Eric1611]

Now the problem is over,I can shut it down and restart it as often as I want.
How do I transfer all my settings from the bad to the good F-Fox???(Vers.3.6).
I hope it is possible...

Thank you very much for the quick help,I wish you all the best (From Holland) :Eric...

If you're able to get into Safe Mode version of Firefox often disabling *all* the add-ons will fix this type of issue. Usually these problems are caused by incompatibilities with add-ons.

Now the problem is over

In order to help you with your question about transferring settings we need to know what exactly you did to solve the issue.

[Eric1611]

I did exactly what you said.I ran F-Fox in safe mode...Of course I lost my settings  ....But I am a step further(thank you!!!),in safe mode it does run normally...
Now I must try to find out how I can "transplant" my settings from my "bad" F-Fox to my "good"(safe) F-Fox.....
If you can give me any suggestions,I would be very thankfull...
I have customized F-Fox totally to my needs and would love to keep my settings !!!
Is there a way I can "transplant" my settings (And extensions,plug-ins,add-ons ect.ect.).

Disabling the add-ons will allow you to test to see if they're the cause of your issue and can be re-enabled. This suggestion was just to see if they were the cause of the issue. If it works I'd click the check for updates button and make sure they're all up-to-date and then do a process of elimination and enable one at a time until you find the culprit causing the load issues.

[Broni]

You didn't lose anything.
If you start Firefox in normal mode, you'll see your all add-ons are still there.
This is what you have to do.

Start Firefox in normal mode.
Manually disable all add-ons, except for ONE.
Shut FF down.
Went OK?
If so, restart FF and enable next add-on.
Shut FF down.
Did OK?
If so, restart and re-enable next add-on.....and so on until you'll find the culprit.

Main suspects - toolbars.

[Eric1611]

I understand...I have to "keep fishing" till I find the bad one....
That`s smart,thanks a lot...I`ll try that...



                                Thanks again,greetins:Eric...............
