We're using Firefox and a new remote process for work has mucked up my system.
When closing it down and then re-opening Firefox, it asked for a new user (I think) or the default user. We chose default user and now we have an old set of bookmarks from many moons ago. How do I get my current bookmarks back? I am old and stupid and throw myself on your mercy, please!
I can't find any information in Firefox help about being prompted for a user. Are you sure it's actually Firefox prompting the user, and not Windows or your work's remote access software?
Check your connection settings (Tools/Options/Advanced/Network, then click "Settings".) If it's not selecting "Direct connection to the Internet", try selecting that.
Mine only has one profile, but it has .default after it. In the profile there is a bookmark backups folder. If you check which one has the bookmarks you want, try changing the name of the correct one so it has .default?
OR
there's instructions here http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile#move For editing the profile.ini if you can locate the profile you want to use. My profile.ini is simply: [General] StartWithLastProfile=1
