Firefox 0.9

[Mal]

Goldini, did you have any previous versions of firebird/firefox? If you did, did you delete the previous profile?

Just that with me, spywareblaster recognises firefox, but when you look in the cookies exceptions, there's nothing there, when on ff0.8, there were exceptions put there by SpywareB.

With FF0.8, the profile folder was still called pheonix, but with FF0.9, it's now called firefox, so spyware may still be set to check for the old name. I haven't deleted the pheonix folder, so that may be why it's showing ff but not actually doing what it should.

That's my theory. I don't know if it's right or not.

Thanks for the info, yes I did have ver 8 and 9 which I deleted I also did a reg scan and deleted all the FF bits re-booted and reloaded FF. I then looked on the FF web site and read the instructions, while it did not say delete the file in fact it said if you delete this file all your FF setting will be lost. This I did and it got rid of the new updates pling. It would seem you may be right about Spyblaster looking for the wrong name as FF ver 0.9.1 is beta

If you try to view the Wimbledon results and you're not using IE, look what you get:
http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/score...pdate/req.html

I'm never visiting that site again...

OK ignoring me being thick before, what were you trying to access? Firefox works fine with me on that site.

I've found it now, that really is crap.

With FireFox I was forbiden to view, so ok I have IE6 and I get:

Your browser is unable to display the Live Match Reports feature. The Live Match Reports feature is optimized for Internet Explorer version 5.5 (or greater). Please download Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 (or greater) to experience this portion of the Web site. If your browser meets this requirement and you are still unable to display this feature, your connection to the Internet may be behind a firewall that prevents the display of this page.

Now call me thick but most sensible people these days will be behind a firewall apart from the DH who wrote the code for the site.


A few months ago I got an email telling me that the name Wimbledon is copyright and I must remove the information from my old school web site. It also went on to say they have no records of our school supplying ball boys. Funny that as we were on radio 4 on Saturday New Balls Please!

The name "Wimbledon" is a part of Surrey though!
Hmm...maybe I'll just copyright the name "Cardiff" and make my millions in rent.

But to do this you would need to become a DH!

I want to use two profiles but what would be nice is having two icons on the desktop which both open firefox in different profiles. Any ideas on how to implement this?

[Richard M]

I don't know how to automatically switch between them but I know you can modify the shortcut to force the profile manager to appear on startup.
Just right click on the shortcut, select properties and in the target box put "-ProfileManager" on the end so it becomes something like:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -ProfileManager

Yeah I already did that, it just seems a little inconvenient to have to select it.
