Ever since the installation of 12.4, Firefox only starts in a small window. I'm getting really pissed about that. Does anyone know how to fix that?
Any kind of help would be really appreciated!!!
This usually happends when the localstore.rdf file is corrupted.
It is located in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile_name>/.
You can use either of the following solutions:
If you have a backup copy of localstore.rdf file from a working profile, a quick remedy is closing Firefox and overwriting the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder with your backup copy.
If you don't have a backup copy just delete the file from the path mentioned above, and Firefox will generate a new copy for you.
If you're using Firefox 15, just reset the firefox profile from History > Reset Firefox.
Important Note (if you're using Reset Firefox):
All of your Firefox settings and personal information is stored in
your profile folder. The reset feature works by creating a new profile
folder for you while saving your:
- Bookmarks
- Browsing history
- Passwords
- Cookies
- Web form auto-fill information
The following items are either NOT SAVED or set to their defaults.
Extensions and themes
Open tabs, windows and tab groups
Site-specific preferences, search engines, personal dictionary, download history, DOM storage, security certificate settings, security
device settings, download actions, plugin MIME types, toolbar
customizations and user styles
After the reset is finished, your old Firefox profile information will be placed on your desktop in a folder named "Old Firefox Data."
