Laptop Vista OS. Firefox opens about 10% of the time. Firefox is now opened in safe mode on the laptop. I started to troubleshoot by locating my profile. I found two default profiles. One named "8wc96kd.default-1350623840166" dated 10/18/2012. The other named "negyzq3j.default" dated 1/12/2008, This one has many more folders & files, . Neither one matched the profile on my Desktop XP computer. Thunderbird works well. At 77 years old I don't know what to do now.

Thank you, Jim c.t.voyager@comcast.net
