I went from mozilla 1.7.3 to 1.7.4 and I lost all emails and bookmarks.
I seem to remember this happening before with mozilla. My browser
went from a sleek, custom beauty to an ancient square-looking piece of
****...and yet "about" said it was 1.7.4 even though it looked like 1.0.
"Manage profiles" doesn't work...the profile name I had previously used
was in the window apparently available but when I went to bring it up it
said it didn't exist or something. Then when I went to create the
same-named profile name it said it already existed!
WTF happened? I have windows 98 SE. I'm writing this with T-bird even
though the "new" mozilla appears to work ok.

i had to reinstall 1.7.3 once or twice. the second time, i "forced" it to find existing profiles. (i'd used teh same name for folders as
i used for profile names. not sure if that helped teh program, but it helped me.) I didn't have to slap it around for too long, and it
worked.

FWIW, I'm using non standard paths to profiles, because the default path,
c:\blah blah\blah blah\applicatoin blah blah\ data blah blah\ Let's take a tiddle toodle walkie around teh globe\has anyone seen
my spectacles\i'm sure i left them on teh boudoiur armoire\next to teh davenport\
is ridiculously long.

more recetnly, i went to 1.7.5 from 1.7.3,
When installing 1.7.5, it found the profiles.

2 WinMe, Moz1.7.5Gecko/20041217, all profiles: GoogleBar/XPI-rimental,PrefBar,bugmenot,,, and???CopyURL, IEView.
Usually java off, js on. Could GoogleBar "merge" with (added) SrcChooser in PrefBar? (v. 3.1, build date 2005020

Thanks bub, I'll try 1.7.5 and if that doesn't work I'll use desktop
google to find the ****.
