yes, despite my previous gloroius opinions about it, it pisses me of. every 1-2 days i loose all my bookmarks, my passwords, even start page and download settings.
dunno why coz i deleted "default"account from accounts folder, and theres only mine. but still somehow firefox looses all the things. im bored with setting this shit up every day. i will change this shit , i just need to think what should io choose coz old explorer is even more shitty.
help ?

i'd be willing to bet you've got some sort of wackiness going on with your filesystem.
firefox is the bombshack, but it's still not mature enough to be able to deal with people having their documents and settings folder moved around all over the place and changing drive paths, and uninstalling & reinstalling in different places, and stuff like that.
i'll bet your registry is a friggin' mess.
or, i could just be an asshole moz zealot who has no idea what he's talking about.

Do you know how many Firefox threads you've started? The answer is; some. This is my TIP, with regards losing bookmarks, as I had the same problem.
To get the Profile manager use the command line and stick in
“C:\Program Files\path\to\firefox\firefox.exe” -p
(obviously whatever your actual path is)
which brings up the Profile Manager, I deleted the default profile and made a new one, WALLOP, favourites worked again,
though I had to import again, but make sure Firefox isn't running at the time.

i really don't know. there's a whole lot of things that it could be.
I just remember you mentioning that you don't have the profile in the standard place. I wasn't aware that you could change the profile directory... so, that's the first thing i'd suspect.
profile directory should be in: \Docs and Settings\[usrnm]\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles
Corrupted profiles are the most common type of problem... but, usually they are very easy to fix. just backup bookmarks, close firefox, delete the profile folder, and restart firefox.
but, if the profile directory has been changed, i don't know what kind of problems it'd cause.
plus, you said you'd changed drive paths and letters around. i'm not sure if that could've affected anything or not.

uninstalling firefox doesn't remove the profile directory.
so, if it's corrupt, uninstalling and reinstalling probably won't fix anything.
the directory has to either be manually removed (like i said), or removed dog_belch's way.

i never really used bookmarks too much until i got used to using them in firefox.
i can't get over how much smart keywords changed the way i surf. i love 'em so much.

they allow me to just type in [ gs porno ] to do a google search on "porno", or [ dict existentialism ] to look up "existentialism" on m-w.com... or anything like that.
you can also just asign keywords to bookmarks, so that typing [ xlt ] takes you to xltronic, etc...
they just rule totally.

yeah, but you can do it for any website that allows search criteria in the URL.
for instance [ xlt snares ] could search xltronic for "snares"... or anything you wanted to search for.

deleting the profile will cause you to lose everything. all your shit is stored in there.
but, manually deleting it will force firefox to create a fresh new one. one that's not corrupted.

i've been using firefox since it was phoenix 0.4, and i've never really had any problem with it. i've also ran probably 100 beta versions of it just to play around.

i'd say uninstall firefox... delete the entire 'Mozilla' directory in your \docs&settin's\app data\ folder... (and if you know how to fiddle with the registry, search for anything mozilla related and remove it... but, if you're not familliar with this don't touch the registry)
then reinstall.
if that doesn't work, then i'm completely out of ideas.

I've been running it for about 18 months, and i've never had a problem. Also, i probably don't use all the features, and i sure-as-god don't know shit about its' murky inner workings. So basically, i like firefox a lot but i can't help you at all.
Sorry.

Is your ver. of Windows pirated? All updates applied? Latest drivers? Properly configured (ie. no bad marks in device manager?) Scanned for spyware / viruses?
I'd suggest re-downloading Firefox...

so, in summary, firefox is: "the bombshack" "best browser ever" "the shit" "good" "the business"
and has elements that: "rule" "work[s] perfectly" are "tasty" "never (has) a problem"
and if someone has a problem with it, it renders epohs "completely out of ideas."
in case anyone is just tuning in!
