Go to the following page and create a new profile then try again. Re-installing firefox will not help.

Might be the addon is having some compatibility problem with FF Version.Either update the extension or uninstall it and then reinstall it;)

^^ Even I am having the same problem.
Now everytime I enter any website, I have to enter my Id and Password.
Even the visited pages do not show up in the address bar!!!

U have 2 solutions
1.Uninstall all the extensions and then Uninstall Firefox.Then reinstall it back again.
2.Go To Tools-->addons->Click Find Updates to update the FF extensions

Advise to all users:Keep a check on functions of Firefox extensions before you install it;)

Must be the extensions/addons might have got updated...There is no chance for the problem to get solved automatically:wink:

^^ Dont know bout that. I mean I am starting my FF just like any other day and I dint saw that update screen that downloads and installs the updates. So I am not sure whether FF was updated or not.

Yes rite now I have updated Flashgot. But the FF problem was solved yesterday only.

^ Start a new thread and mention the extension you are using to save your session. That will get you better responses and faster troubleshooting.
