I restored Firefox on my RecRoom computer this morning by simply copying the profile directory of the version on the Media PC, and replacing the one on the RecRoom PC. What I'd done in the last few years was to create a central profile on one PC for Firefox, and for Thunderbird, and access that via a virtual drive. That worked, mostly, but it also meant that I couldn't run more than one of those at a time, and there were "hiccups" in accessing the profile which slowed everything down. Just using copies is much faster.
With a virtual profile for Thunderbird that wasn't an issue and it worked well, because I wasn't constantly accessing the net . But now the global local files have been messed up, and I need to make sure that I have copied any incoming ones under C:\User \somewhere or another before I fix it. That's why I haven't been using Thunderbird for the last week, because it's been just one job of many around the house. Today I'll make a concerted effort to do just that.
My Studio PC remains offline for now. I think fixing Thunderbird has priority. I have a couple of emails that just seemed to disappear and I suspect that the senders will think that I've just ignored them. Fun and Games!
