Title: Firefox reset
Post by: ADSR on November 01, 2010, 05:30:22 AM
Firefox (3.6.12)quitting randomly...

Memory test seems ok, but i remember last year changing some parameters in "about:config"  , is there a way to reset it to normal?

Thanks

The about:config thread was about cookies not working properly - not quits/crashes.

However, if you want to put it back to normal, the thread is here: http://www.techsurvivors.net/forums/index....&hl=Firefox

I doubt that will do it, though. If it doesn't, try trashing the Firefox .plist (remove to desktop with FF closed, restart FF - if ok, then trash .plist, if not, put .plist back). You can also empty FF's cache. It's in /Users/(you)/library/application support/firefox/profiles/(xxx).default/cache

Seems better after trashing  Firefox .plist ..

"You can also empty FF's cache. It's in /Users/(you)/library/application support/firefox/profiles/(xxx).default/cache"

Can't found   found  this  cache in profile ,

Whith easyfind ..a lot of cache files  from  itunes , safari etc, is it safe to delete all these cache files..?

Sorry about that - the cache location I gave above was from an online post in another forum and it wasn't correct. dry.gif

The correct location:

user->Library->Caches (well, who'da thunk?? rolleyes.gif)->Firefox->Profiles->(xxxxx).default->Cache - and there are a whole bunch of files in there and you can safely delete all of them.

As for other cache files, yes, it is usually safe to delete all of them as the application just recreates them next time it opens (with different content of course!)
