Posted: Sun Apr 19, 2009 11:23 am Post subject: Uninstalled Mozilla Minefield and all data [Solved] |
|
|
So, about twenty minutes ago I uninstalled Mozilla Minefield, I also checked the option to 'delete all user settings blah blah' and proceeded to uninstalling. Unknowingly, I had deleted everything related to Mozilla browsers, in other words, everything on my Mozilla Firefox is gone (basically it wiped out the default profile) and now I have none of my themes, add-ons, bookmarks, or any of that stuff..
Is there a way I can recover the files with ease? _________________

Could I get a download link for the newest Mozilla Minefield?
I googled a little, and it sounds interesting. _________________

That's the only thing I hate about Mozilla's webbrowsers..
They all conect so if you uninstall one you loose all your bookmarks, passwords etc... |

Another way to not fuck up all your mozilla browsers is by opening firefox and do the start up, then uninstall minefield......
Worked for me. |

Nah you don't need to do that, just untick 'Delete personal data' something like that, or don't tick it. _________________

Yes, I too ticked that because I didn't want any Mozilla Minefield data left on my Computer.
I didn't know it was going to delete everything on my Mozilla Network...
They should really scan for other Mozilla products during Un-installation, and If a product is found, make that tick box not enabled or something... |

The data is stored in either of the places:
C:\Document and Settings\(user name)\Application data\Mozilla
C:\Document and Settings\(user name)\Local files\Application Data\Mozilla
Or something like that. Back up the whole file before doing anything stupid. |
