Ok, yesterday, FireFox somehow ran in the background(nothing but taskmgr was showing it), and I didn't know that. I tried opening it, and it came up with a profile window. I thought "Ok, I'll just select _default and see if that's my profile." It said that it was in use. So I made a new profile, and set it to automatically use that one(please, don't ask). After that, I decided to open up taskmgr, and lo-behold, ANOTHER COPY OF FIREFOX WAS RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND!


How do I change my profile? I've gone through the profiles folder, checked all the options for anything to do with profiles, and all I found was nothing. What should I do?

shit, the exact same thing happened to me less than a month ago. it was really annoying since all my bookmarks were in the first profile and i could only use the second one. annoying as hell. anyway, i think i switched back with clicking

Tools
and then at the bottom of that menu is switch profile.

hope you can sort it out.

I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human. With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin. I'm reaching up and reaching out, I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me, whatever will be willed on me. And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been. We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going.

There's no Switch Profile option in the tools menu .

thats odd!

form, cookie... ...managers

as far as i know it has been there since i installed mozilla and not something i somehow added.

this is from Help in mozilla:

Deleting or Renaming a Profile You may want to delete profiles that you don't normally use. To delete or rename an existing profile: 1. Exit the browser. It is not possible to create, delete, or rename a profile while the Navigator, Mail, or any other component of your browser software is running. 2. Open the Profile Manager: * On Windows, open the Start menu and choose Programs, then Mozilla, then Profile Manager. * On Mac OS, open the Mozilla folder and then double-click the Profile Manager. * On Linux or Unix, type the following at the command line: ./mozilla -profile 3. To delete a profile, select its name and click Delete Profile. 4. To rename a profile, select its name, click Rename Profile, and follow the instructions.

maybe it can help you if you delete the profile you created, i mean, than you would only have one again. i hope you can fix it. good luck!!
