I Lost my Firefox!

[Crazy Ed]

Computer technology sucks.

    I worked at a Computer Company for 11 years and the mors common refrain to be hear was "Too Error is Human, but if you Really want to Screw something up, Use a Computer!". Harry I hope you recover your Profile.

I just got a 1 terrabyte laptop with windows 10. I'm not a fan of 10, but the browser is Microsoft Edge, and it works pretty nice. But the cloud thing.....

The problem with clouds is that they dissipate eventually. Trust in nothing that doesn't have a physical presence.

Modern technology is destroying our simple quality of life.

Yup, I would much rather be exchanging view on modeling by writing a letter, putting it in the mail box and waiting for a week or two to get a response.  Yup, that is what I would like.

I thought it was funny too.

And people wonder why I like 35 mm cameras, typewriters, adding machines and Pay-Masters...

... but when I tried to delete the rest of your quote my posting window reverted back to your entire post. Man, this technology krap is effed up. 

If you revert back aren't you where you just were, not where you want to revert to?  This one is one of my peeves.

I got it back!

It turns out my Firefox profile was right where it was supposed to be, even though I kept getting an error message that my profile was "lost."

So I went and deleted my Firefox profile, then downloaded and installed a fresh version of Firefox, forcing it to create a new profile... as if I had never used Firefox before. And it worked.

I will never understand this computer stuff.

The Elder Geek is great too, specifically for dealing with Windows operating system(s) issues.
