How do I create a new profile in Firefox 3.6?

I would like to create another firefox profile to do multiple version testing however i can't seem to do this in firefox 3.6
Instructions so far have be to run "firefox.exe -ProfileManager" or "firefox.exe -P" in the windows run command prompt but all I see in a new browser that opens.
Then, I see where the actually folder for my profile sits under
C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles but I don't know what I'm supposed to do from there
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

The profile manager will only open if all Firefox processes are closed.
You can check that on the Processes tab in the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
If you can't get it to work then try to add the -no-remote switch to see if that brings up the profile Manager.
firefox.exe -no-remote -P
Add a space before -no-remote and before -P

How do I create a new profile without opening firefox?

Firefox is not opening for me even after I uninstalled and re installed it, I have been told that often this problem can be fixed by resetting my fire fox account, and while I have been instructed on how to access my profile without opening fire fox there is nothing that will tell me how to reset my profile or create a new profile without opening fire fox. Please help, I don't want to loose my important information and I really really don't want to use chrome... it sucks...
Thank you

I had to create a new profile in Firefox and now, I can't access important data such as bookmarks which I desperately need.

After two days of not being able to open Firefox, I found an article on this website which suggested that I create a new profile. I followed the instructions (which never stated that I should first backup Firefox or my old profile) After creating the new profile, Firefox is once again working fine but, I am unable to access important data such as bookmarks and history.
I have followed several suggestion on this website but, I am still unable to find my old profile content.

As long as you did not uninstall Firefox and remove personal data, your old profile still should be in the same location. Depending on how messed up it was, here are two options:
'''(1) Use the profile manager to start Firefox up in your old profile and create a fresh bookmarks backup.''' If it didn't run, this won't be useful.
To start in a different profile, Exit out of Firefox and start it up from the Start menu, search box, using
firefox.exe -P
Your old profile may have a name like default.
Then you can create a fresh backup or export of your bookmarks (or both) to a neutral location (e.g., the Documents folder). These articles have the steps for creating these files:
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]] (note: does not preserve tags you have assigned to bookmarks, if any)
Exit Firefox, use the profile manager to return to your new profile, then you can either restore the bookmark backup or import the HTML file. The difference is that a restore completely replaces whatever exists now, while an import adds to what you have now.
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
* [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
Success?
'''(2) Restore an old bookmark backup.''' Firefox creates these files regularly, but it might not be perfectly complete.
To access the old files, I suggest starting from your current (new) profile folder. You can open that from within Firefox using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window showing your ''current'' settings files. Using the address bar of that window, click up to the Profiles folder level and then double-click into your old profile folder, then into its bookmarkbackups folder. Copy the latest backup file to a neutral location (such as your Documents folder).
Back in Firefox, try to restore the older backup. Note: this will completely replace your bookmarks in this profile, so if you have saved new bookmarks you want to save, please perform the optional steps in the following list:
* Optional (preserve new bookmarks): [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] - use Choose File to go to your Documents folder to get the old backup
* Optional (add new bookmarks to the restored set): [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
Success?

I have created a new profile and copied firefox files from my old computer into it. How do I switch to the new profile, do I just delete the old one?

I am running windows 7 I had to recover my files from an external hard drive when my old computer crashed. I have created a new profiles as outlined in the firefox website and copied all the files into it. I just need to know how to use this new profile when I open firefox, do I just delete the old profile? Or do I have to reinstall firefox.

If you no longer need or intent to use that older profile then you can use the Profile Manager to remove that profile and delete the files.

Firefox is refusing to start. It says that my profile is missing, which it appears to be. Yet the way in which one goes about creating a new profile wont' work either. Anybody have a bloody clue what's going on and how to fix it?

AIR give you classes to detect an on-line or off-line status, it's in
this way for the sake of flexibility for instance what happens if you
only what to sync data only on Saturdays at 2 am? If it were done
automatically that'll be a problem. And it isn't so complicated.
You can download the SalesBuilder from AIR examples at www.adobe.com/devnet/air
it's an application that does everything you have in mind.
I don't understand your question abou file types.
An AIR app can communicate with almost every backend served tech
CF, .Net, PHP, RoR.
Sincerely,
Michael

Sorry but I don't quiet understand. I thought AIR did the updating
automatically? I didn't realise the developer had to program the
logic of how the updates take place? Is it a case in most AIR apps
that when online the app updates the server and once every intervel
(of however long) the local SQLite DB is synced to the more updated
server DB. Then when offline the developer has to sense that the app
is offline and store a log manually of the updates without any help
from AIR itself, and then update once it comes online again?

Can AIR link to anything more than a database on the server side
apart from webservices, for example .as files or any other file types?

What type of server is a Flex app stored on, is it a specific Adobe
server rather than a Java or .NET server?

Thank you so much for your last comment!

How do I create a new lens profile?

How do I creat a new lens profile for a Canon EF135mm f/2 and EF200 f/2.8 in lightroom 3.3?

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your reply. I figured it out, I downloaded the new version of Raw 6.3 and now I have the lens profile and others such as crop constraint and
chromatic abrerrations. I was looking for these items in Photoshop Raw
Thanks,
Aideen
If I understand you correctly, you found and downloaded a lens profile that matches your camera and lens, and you don't see the profile in LR?
1. Make sure that you relaunch LR after you downloaded the lens profiles.
2. The type of lens profiles (raw or non-raw) matches your image type (raw or non-raw). Namely you can only apply raw lens profiles to raw image files and vice versa for the non-raw profiles.

I'm going to give my iMac (21" - late 2007) to my brother. So, I did a back-up and now I want to format it and create his new profile. What to do and how? I have OS.x 10.7 (Lion)

I'm going to give my iMac (21" - late 2007) to my brother. So, I did a back-up on an external disk and now I want to format it and create his new profile. What to do and how? I have OS.x 10.7 (Lion). Thanks very much for your support and help.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There isn't a Late 2007 21-inch iMac. I think you are referring to a Mid 2007 20-inch iMac, right?
In that case, you can't give him your iMac with OS X Lion. OS X Lion is registered to your Apple ID, and he won't be able to reinstall Lion unless you give him your Apple ID.
The best you can do is to give him the Mac with Snow Leopard installed, if you have the DVD. Follow these steps:
1. Insert the DVD and hold the C key while your computer is starting.
2. Choose your language, and go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility.
3. Choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
4. Close Disk Utility and reinstall Mac OS X. When the installation finishes, hold the mouse or trackpad to eject the disc and turn off the computer.
This is the most recommended way to do it and avoid problems. Anyway, if you insist on giving him the iMac with Lion, you just have to start in OS X Recovery (holding Comman and R keys while your computer is starting), use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD as described above, and finally, reinstall Lion with your Apple ID

My firefox is running in the background, unvisible. It will not allow me to uninstall/ reinstall because it says it is running. I cannot create a new profile because it says that firefox is running? How do I fix this??

I have tried restarting my computer, tried uninstalling, tried reinstalling but it always tells me that Firefox is open and running. When I select the task manager, there is no "firefox" under process. I have tried checking to make sure that the "read only" box is not checked under the profile properties. it seems like my only option now is to create a new profile. However, the profile manager won't even come up because it says firefox is running in the background. So frustrating!

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
You can force Firefox to create a new default profile if you remove the profiles.ini file.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
You can find that file here:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

I wanted to send some photos out but was told I need to create a new profile, use mail icon in control panel no icon there how do I get it done?

I want to send some photos from Firefox, when I tried it said I need to create a new profile, use mail icon in control panel. I went to control panel and do not know what to do.'''bold text'''

As all of the msuic came from your computer in the first place it should still be there. Is it not?
EVERYTHING on your ipod should also be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
Make sure that everything is on your computer. You can transfer itunes purchases from the ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases.
When everything is on your computer, then it can be synced back to the ipod after updating.

TS2756 How can i create a new usb connection (service) on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )

How can i create a new usb connection (service) on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.
can some one help me please??
this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

I tried creating a new profile to fix my firefox crash issue as well as reinstalling it, is there anything else I can do to fix it?

When I try to open firefox it immediately crashes and says "Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts." There is no crash ID. I tried to submit a report yesterday, but received no email that it was received. I do not know how long it normally takes for a response. Anyway, I have Windows Vista. I tried reinstalling firefox, which did not work. I followed the steps of creating a new profile and did not try to bring any of my saved settings over to the new profile. Firefox opened, but when I tried to go to comcast.net it immediately closed and came up with the same exact crash error.

You do not get a response if you submit a crash report.
If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).
You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the <i>about:crashes</i> page.
You can open the <b>about:crashes</b> page via the location bar, like you open a website.

How to Manually Create Wi-Fi Profiles with Open Authentication & WEP Encryption

I clicked Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center> Set up a new connection or network > Manually connect to a wireless network, but I wasn't able to select WEP for Encryption type when I selected
Open System for Security type. Why not? I hear Open authentication & WEP encryption is more secure than WEP authentication & encryption. Doesn't Windows support Open authentication & WEP encryption?
I tried it on several computers: Win8.1/8/7, hp/DELL/ASUS/acer, but on neither of them was I able to select Open authentication and WEP encryption at the same time. Wi-Fi is enabled, and every user account that I tried it from is admnistrator
one.
I can manually create Wi-Fi profiles with WEP authentication and WEP encryption. What I wanted to create is, however, those with Open authentication and WEP encryption.
I'll appreciate your help.

Hi,
Acctually speaking, Both type of WEP encryption is not secure. I'm agree with SenneVl's opinion, it would be better to use WPA encryption. You can refer to the contents of the link belwo for more details:

Creating a new profile works fine at first, but back to original problem when opened again

Ok, so I've been reading about how people have had trouble with slowness using FF, and up until the past week, I've honestly never had a problem with FF. But recently, in the past week, every time I open up a couple of web pages, it slows right down and then into the 'spinning pizza wheel' so that I have to do a force quit. So after a lot of research on these help pages, I tried going into safe mode, as well as doing a full reset, but nothing helped. I then tried to create a new profile, and problem solved! Or so I thought. It turns out that I can open as many pages as I want when I first open this fresh new profile, but when I quit out of FF and then open this new profile again (using the profile manager), it goes right back into slowing down with the 'spinning pizza wheel' again, and so I then have to force quit. I can delete and recreate this new profile over and over, and I keep getting the same result - FF works fine on the first try, but close out and reopen the new profile, or my old one for that matter, and back to the original problem! Hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks in advance!
BTW I'm using a 2010 Mac Pro running OSX 10.8.5 with the latest version (25) of FF

the apple guys should do something...this is a bad feedback on their part. this will drive away their costumers knowing this....is there any solution to this?
