today’s tip #2
If you’ve ever had a problem, like I have, with Firefox where the most recently used window size doesn’t seem to be saved, so that whenever you open Firefox there the window opens up in a weird size/position — here’s your solution!
Delete the “localstore.rdf” file in your Firefox profile, and delete it. Don’t worry, Firefox will make a new, fresh one when it restarts.
Now I just need to figure out if my localstore.rdf was corrupted because of a bigger problem: disk error.
If you’re having trouble locating your Firefox profile (and you’re on a Windows machine), look in C:\Documents and Settings\[your user login name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.xyz Replace “C:\” with your systems root drive, and insert your login name in the indicated spot. Your profile might be in “\Mozilla\Profiles\” instead of “\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles” depending on what version of Firefox you’re running. And the “default.xyz” will almost certainly be different on your system (the extension is random, from what I can tell), but it’s normally the only folder in “Profiles.”
