Hey guys, I'm back with another question :p

Just installed Windows 7 on another partition of the disk, and now when I start Firefox on my XP 64 system (same computer obviously), and I start Firefox, it acts like it would after installing it freshly. All the addons say welcome, etc. And my session doesn't restore with tab mix plus even though I set it to. But then when I exit, and open Firefox again, the same happens.

Oh yeah, and the font on FG Forums looks slightly different than it did before...
 
Open Task Manager and make sure you don't have a firefox.exe already running. If it's unable to load the profile (because a frozen copy of Firefox is already using it), then it'll load a default profile.

If that's not it, we'll help ya get a new Firefox profile going.
 
Somehow, as computers do, it just fixed itself after I rebooted into Windows 7 and then back again...
