Reinstalled FF, still no luck :(

I'm sorry you lost your cookies.

Try renaming the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Mozilla

Name it something like Mozilla_backup. (Be sure to close Firefox and any other Mozilla product (like Thunderbird) that you may have open.) Then launch Firefox again. See if that helps.

My thinking is that there's a corrupt file in there that wasn't cleared out when you uninstalled/reinstalled. Firefox will recreate all the files in the Mozilla folder if it doesn't find one.

Better than tossing 'em

I did some research and it sounds like the cookie.txt file and cookies.sqlite were corrupted. I ended up doing a fresh install of FF. Not ideal, but it fixed the issue.

Thank you to those who offered actual help.

I'll now go enjoy my girl scout cookies. Neener.

Quiet! What know one sees you eat has no calories.

I am living proof this works.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

This is happening again. The only fix I can find still is the renmaing of the files, which isn't working. I really don't want to reinstall FF.

Have you tried my suggestion from post #13?

Yes, and it did exactly what reinstalling FF did. Deleted all my bookmarks and settings. I copied over my bookmarks folder and it didn't pick them up.

I was hoping to avoid losing everything again.

re: bookmarks, you can always go into Organize Bookmarks and click "Import and Backup" to re-import any bookmark folder you've made a copy of.
