Thank goodness for FF Plugins

Three in particular.

I was feeling a little under the weather last night, so went to bed early, which means I was up before 7am this morning. I decided that this early on a Sunday morning was a good time to clean out my computer, so fired up Revo uninstaller and started getting rid of old/unused software. For those that don't know, Revo cleans the registry and hard drive of any remaining bits after a standard uninstall.

In the installed programs were FF2, 3.5 and 3.6 beta, so they had to go since I'm using the latest. Uninstalling 3.5 was going well until I realised I'd just clicked "Yes" to clear all residual files, which included extensions, bookmarks, personalisations etc. Too late, Doh!.

I went the whole hog and removed all traces of all FF instances (after downloading the latest installer), then re-installed. Installed FEBE, Cleo and XMarks. 5 minutes later, my customisations, bookmarks, logins and passwords were all back in place. (I'm pretty glad I have XMarks set up to auto sync with the server).

All I can say is, "Phew"

You must have had that sudden hot feeling in the bowel when you realised you'd clicked 'Yes', Steve.    Glad it all worked out.

Pleased it worked out OK, Steve, Xmarks and Febe have saved my bacon a few times.

Another FEBE fan here.

I am pretty sure I had an unexpected bowel movement, but if there were any addons worth having, they are those
