Fine.

Unlikely, though, because you seem the only one with this specific crash. Now i have looked in the former thread and found |After some testing, it is when I copy the pref.js |file that the emails disappear again. and i remembered you difficulties with emails. Did you really copy the prefs.js from your old profile, edited it and use it now? Shudder. *g* >> And i guess that something went wrong with editing the prefs.js. *g* > >This is the line that i changed: > >wallet.SchemaValueFileName > >And I changed it to: > >60988542.s Mhm. This pref is for form history and should point to number.w. The pref for passwords is signon.SignonFileName and points to number.s. Form history pointing to number.s is, eh, quite unusual. ;) >Which is the name of the file that contains my password info. number.s contains password info, that's correct, but the corresponding pref is signon.SignonFileName and not wallet.SchemaValueFileName. >Is there a way to "export" then import my password info? I can't find >one other than the way I did it. Moving to a new profile isn't too hard. Years ago i had done so sometimes, mostly, to get get rid of a corrupted prefs.js. E.g. at the time as i tried sudo. *g* Never use the old prefs.js or parts of it. I don't like changing prefs with about:config and prefer user_pref in the user.js. There i can comment and i know later what i had done. And i can use the user.js in a new profile. And for number.s and number.w, well, i had edited prefs.js, naturally after making a backup. >> Did i mention already that you should use a testprofile? > >I have done that on windoze before.
