 Posted: 12/01/04 - 04:21 Post subject: Change users in firefox?
|
|
|
|
Last time I tried to open firefox it said something about changing usernames because it was already running so i just clicked ok and it switched from default to default user and now all my links and saved PW's and stuff are not accessable because they are on the other username. I cant seemt o find the change user option tho to switch back. Anyone know where to find it?

Bah, firefox still has that? That's so lame. My old copy of mozilla on linux does that - if you vnc in to your workstation as another X desktop, you have to run mozilla as a different user, and you don't get any of your bookmarks or anything. Seems highly retarded; I'm sure they could find a way to lock the damn files or something.
Anyway, running as "default user" just lets you run as a different user of the browser, with a totally separate environment from "default". To get back to your old environment you need to start a copy and run as "default", not "default user". On linux, it asks you which user you want to be every time you start it (which is also idiotic; maybe that's fixed now). If you try to start as "default" and it thinks you can't, it won't let you, so you have to kill off all the processes that it thinks are other users until it does let you. Worst case, if you reboot you can do it. On XP, I doubt that it asks you every time what user you want to be, so it may be that it defaults to whatever user you last used, and you need to find a configuration option to switch you back to "default".
One other possibility, at least on linux, sometimes when there's a power failure or crash, it will leave a lock file around claiming that "default" is still logged on even though the machine has rebooted. You have to find and delete that file. On XP I have no idea if that happens or how you fix it - might be a registry entry for all I know.

why don't you RTFM/help file? or go to their forums for help?
surely you've got the brains to figure something so simple out on your own?

Yes.
Bronchitis sucks when you lay down and your lungs fill up with fluid. Makes for very unpleasant sleep attempts.

<3 the Zpack, when did you get it? That stuff works so incredably well on me I wouldnt have to finish the 5 days if I didnt want to just to be on the safe side. Amoxacylin(sp?) almost doesnt work on me at all so I get that for almost everything.

yea, I think I had that 2 weeks ago actually. Something with the infirmary at my school, I just saw a nurse and then she went and talked ot a doc and the doc gave me the Zpack from whatever the nurse said, it was weird. I didnt realy get a strait answer from her. But I was coughing like shit and the same thing laying down to sleep was a killer. Try to sleep on your side I found that to help, duno why tho.
