you must push ctrl+alt+del then end firefox.. (even though it dosnt look like it is running it is).. Then try reopening firefox.. if it prompts you for which user pick default... if that dosn't work send me a PM..

nah it seems pretty common actually, but yeah, the joys of using the virus ridden internet explorer instead.

Firefox 1.5 makes backups of your bookmarks.
You can find them here: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator(this can be any profile)\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\mr08egbz.default\bookmarkbackups
Make sure to check all profiles in Documents and Settings for the folder Mozilla/Firefox/....

Welcome to firefox. ;P
Backup your bookmarks weekly. This will NOT be fixed in the next version.
It's still a better browser.

shouldn't it be really easy for the coders to correct the bug? Or is it some fucked up easter egg? I still use FF though.
