The profile manager only shows my new profile. How do I switch back to my default profile?

I just made a new profile to use exclusively with an alternate version of Firefox. My regular version accidentally opened this new profile, so I tried using profile manager to set it back to the default. However, the profile manager is only showing my new profile. /appdata/roaming/mozilla/firefox/profiles shows that I still have my default and my new profile. Putting -P "default" in the target line just opens up profile manager. How do I switch back to my default profile or get it to show up in profile manager?

When a profile doesn't show in the Profile Manager then you can register this profile by using the Profile Manager to create a new profile.
You can click the "Choose Folder" button to make Firefox recognize and use an already existing profile.
It is best to create a desktop shortcut that selects a specific profile (-P "profile_name") to avoid opening a profile with the wrong Firefox version.<br />
Make sure to select the profile for the default browser in the Profile Manager, so that is used when you click a link in an external program.

You can use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and run multiple Firefox instances simultaneously.

  • I changed my password and email information for my apple ID but constantly on my iPod it asks me for my password to my old email address... I've tried my every password and it always says it's wrong but on the computer it only shows my new information?

    Help?!

    Can I delete the iTunes folder with the music in it and then log into iTunes? Won't it start downloading the music that I've previously bought? I also have quite a bit of music from the Napster days if you know what I mean so I don't want to manually have to go through several thousand songs since I don't know which I bought from iTunes and which I didn't.

  • Only Yahoo and Bing appear in the search box and the Search engine manager only shows them too.

    No matter what I try, only Yahoo and Bing search engines appear in the search box top right on Firefox. The Search engine manager only shows these two engines as well. I want to add Goggle and have not been able to. The default restore in the Search engine Manager is "Greyed out". What can I do to fix this ?

    If those search engines are also missing in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) then a (re)install should restore them.
    If they are present then try to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

    I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?

    Alright, I found the issue. This is how I have resolved my issue. I hope it will help you.
    1. This issue could happen, if your apple TV doesnt have internet, connectivity to iTunes servers, or you haven't logged in to iTunes account in your apple TV
    2. Test the network on apple tv - General - settings - network - test network, Try to aviod using wifi use LAN cable, since we are trying to fix the issue.
    3. Set your exact location manually - Which city you are in from settings-General - Time Zone- choose your City currently you are in.
    4. Login to iTunes account - settings- iTunes Store- set your default store - for example I am in Mongolia but using my New Zealand account on Apple TV, in our case my Apple TV iTunes account location is New Zeland.
    5. If you are facing any issues to login to your iTunes account, That explains you have an issue with connectivity back to iTune servers, or sometimes it could be apple iTune servers may have problems. To verify which is one is the problem login to your itunes on your laptop or desktop for testing purposes, make sure you are using the same internet connection as your home apple TV is using.
    6. if you are able to login you should able to see all the available channels and full list on Apple TV.
    All the best..I just saved USD 29.00 but spend 5 hours...LOL..Its ok..its my Holiday spend with Apple TV.

  • I have installed FF 8, the problem is whenever i try to launch it, it never launches (directly or indirectly), but when i check in the task manager it shows FF running. I have installed it on windows XP professional.

    I have installed FF 8, the problem is whenever i try to launch, it never launches (directly or indirectly), but when i check in the task manager it shows FF running. I have installed it on windows XP professional. Never gave an error, no messages, etc. I have disabled all the addons.

    The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
    For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
    1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
    2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
    3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
    4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.

  • The URL field only shows "index.html"

    My org website is working okay, just a simple html site with javascript buttons and a more technical search function on the way. However, throughout the website, that is, whether a visitor is on the "Home" screen, or the "Hope & Help" screen, or the "Professionals" screen (etc.), the URL field only shows "index.html" -- clearly I must have made a mistake when I set up the new site, but where? What do I need to look at, and what do I need to do to correct the glitch? Please view the .org at:

    Thank you!

    It's because you're using frames when there's no reason to.
    Each content page is actually a separate webpage inside the parent frame.
    The easiest way to resolve this would be to re-build the site using a pre-made template inside Dreamweaver then cut and paste the content into the various pages.

  • HT4623 cannot enter access code letters .the touch pad only shows numbers

    cannot enter letters in viber access  the touch pad only shows numbers

    Hello,
    I have the exact same problem now. I setup Lotus Traveler and enabled my code lock. When I entered the default code 12345, it asks for a new code with numbers and letters but I only have numbers available to choose on the keypad. So I am locked out and have had to go back to my old phone. There are no other options on the keypad.
    Did you find a solution?

  • Application manager only shows 12 apps

    Greetings,
    I have creative cloud for my work. I downloaded my desired app on my mac. I have a pc at home and I started downloading some apps there, but was interrupted so I ended up not downloading them at home, my goal was to download pc versions overnight, I figured I could just copy the downloaded files to a flash drive and then take them to work and install/activate at work. On my work pc now, app manager only shows 12 apps, the ones that I started downloading on my home pc no longer show. on my mac, app manager indicates the apps that are already installed. my pc app manager simply doesn't show them. i understand you can have two seats and that is my goal. please advise.

    Is your home PC 64-bit? If it is only 32-bit then Premiere Pro and After Effects will not show on the Apps & Services web page or in the Adobe Application Manager. Also Edge will not show if you are running Windows XP.
    Sure would be good if a note to that effect appeared in the AAM and on the App & Services page explaining that to all 32-bit users.
    Silence (and no appearance of a Premiere Pro or After Effects entry) just leaves them scratching their heads expecting them to work it out for themselves.
    Any chance of the engineers adding that tweak to the Cloud? Then these questions will disappear from the forums.

  • I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar

    Question
    I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar. Tried f10, alt, nothing! Can I reload an old firefox? There is no firefox logo at top. When I rt click at top I see hide toolbar and leave full screen. To the right there is only a home sign. How can I get my BOOKMARKS ??????? I so need them and hate what ever this is that now shows up on firefox.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • When saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. How can I fix this?

    when saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. Even some text is hidden. I have flattened the artwork so everything is in one layer. How can I fix this?

    Hi John
    I have indicated on the attached jpeg where the problem is, basically a line of text is missing at the top and part of the feeding diagram is missing. I created the artwork in different layer and then flattened. All text has been converted to outlines, however the areas being affected have no transparency, I have used solid fills or no fills. I get the same result when I export the file as a jpeg. Hope you can help.
