I had seen these instructions elsewhere. My problem is that I don't
have the extension files referenced below anywhere (and no files are
hidden, except for those system files they won't really let me see -
or scared me into thinking I couldn't see them, I can't recall which).
* extensions.ini
* extensions.cache
* extensions.rdf
* compreg.dat
Nevertheless, I tried to create a new profile and it didn't make a
difference.
My sense is that something is corrupted. I mentioned to FF that any
ad links (to the right and those on top of a search) in Google don't
generate a real page (just shows as xowry.gif - with nothing in the
body of the page). Not sure why I think this could be related, but it
was the first problem I noticed starting a month ago. In IE, the
links in Google are just fine.
I hadn't used or looked for FB until a few days ago, so I'm not sure
when it disappeared.
.NET Framework was on my computer until yesterday. I really don't
think it was the problem, but I did uninstall it.
Oddly, the first real issue I noticed, in addition to the ads, was a
few days before I noticed FB was missing: Delicious was missing as
well. When I deleted .NET, Delicious came back but FB didn't.
If this is more info than you needed, I apologize. Figured you'd want
to know where things were coming from. I honestly don't know when FF
updates as it's automatic. I'm wondering if going back to an older
version, like from early September, would be a good idea.
It's times like these that I really miss my IT guy. Here's to small
business owners everywhere!
Best,
Caryn
