Sorry, I'm the idiot who decided to create a firefox profile. I was simply
trying to avoid some major performance issues we have because the default
settings are not good for Freenet, and asking users to change them globally
also sucks.
Freenet has not destroyed any data, it has simply created a second
profile. It
launches it with -no-remote so it shouldn't be remembered by firefox, but
somehow in your instance it was ... what you have to do is open a command
line (start, run, type cmd), cd to the directory firefox is installed in,
e.g.:
cd c:\program files\mozilla firefox
Then:
firefox -ProfileManager
You will then be presented with a list of installed profiles, including one
called default and one called freenet. Click on the one called default and
then click on the button to start firefox using that profile.
Sorry.

PS [email protected] is usually the right place for these sorts of
issues.
To CC's: WTF are we going to do about this?
First of all ask the user about the exact firefox version he is using
and the output of the "about:buildconfig" page.
Then determine whether his browser has profiles compiled in or not... If
not we would also like to know where he got his browser from.

I looked in about:buildconfig for my copy of Firefox (the latest,
2.0.0.13) but I don't see anything that looks like a profile in the
Firefox Compiler flags:
-Wall -W -Wno-unused -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wno-long-long
-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -fpascal-strings
-no-cpp-precomp -fno-common
-I/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/Developer/Headers/FlatCarbon;
or Configure arguments:
--target=i386-apple-darwin8.7.0
--with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk
--enable-application=browser --enable-update-channel=release
--enable-official-branding '--enable-optimize=-O2 -g' --disable-debug
--disable-tests --enable-update-packaging --enable-static
--disable-shared --enable-svg --enable-canvas?
Am I looking in the right places?
