Returnil and Firefox

[twistedvincent]

A very disturbing thing has happened to me 3 times when using Returnil session lock.......
It completely removes all my firefox settings/addons/themes etc.....
anyone else experience this?
If so is there a solution?
I love Returnil,but this is prohibitative to say the least.:-\

Vista ultimate,Kaspersky,Look-n-Stop,Comodo Bo-clean

Thank You

[HURST]

did you install those stuff before or after going to session lock?

Yes I'm just listing my current security items.Firefox was installed before Returnil as well.

[HURST]

but addons and themes?

twistedvincent,

Are you talking about addons, themes, bookmarks etc. that you added during the Session Lock? If so, they will be gone after a reboot along with any other changes you make to your system partition. The only way around this would be to save your Firefox data in an unprotected location. I think the new paid version with disk caching can be set up to keep changes also. I'm not 100% sure though.

It's also wise to backup your Firefox profile every so often. I think I'm past due myself :).

I've had missing bookmarks in the past but this was before using Returnil.
However a couple of times after I reboot from a session lock Ad-Block Plus has been missing.
I dont usually notice this until I go to a sports website that I'm a regular visitor of and all the ads starts showing up on the site, thats when I notice the little ABP icon in my web browser is missing.

What happens is I'll just turn on session lock if I have a few programs I want to install and try out.I'll install the applications,see if I like them,and reboot.I'm not adding anything to Firefox while under session lock because I know full well that they'll be gone on reboot.

Ok then, that is not good. I know I've read about Firefox profiles getting messed up from time to time without the use of Returnil. That's why I mentioned regular backups of the profiles.

If it is Returnil causing your problems, I think Mike/ "Coldmoon" will have to help you. I hope he will be around sometime soon. You could also post which Returnil version your using as it may help.

Hi,
Can you describe the exact steps to reproduce this? Thanks

It's quite simple really......I right click on my Returnal tray icon,choose session lock so I can install and try a new program or something of the sort.Finish up and reboot.
Next time I go to use Firefox it has basically returned to it's "original" state.No passwords,themes,a few of the couple add ons remain,but it's like I just installed Firefox all over again.


Thanks for the response....
