We need to remove your update configuration files. They consist of the following:
- active-update.xml
- updates.xml
- Your Updates Folder
Please close Firefox first with File | Exit
In XP, these files are located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox and/or the folder where you installed Firefox
After you have delete those files, restart Firefox. Also see Updates reported when running newest version
Well, this worked on my desktop! But my problem is on my laptop. :-) I'm running XP, but there was no "Username" under Documents and Settings under the C drive. I did a search for those file names and it wasn't there. I found Mozilla Firefox folder under: C\Documents and Settings\ All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox. There are 2 - 1 is Mozilla Firefox (shortcut) and the other is Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). I did a Mozilla Firefox search and this is all that showed up.
When I click on the shortcut link (the 1st one), it opens up 2 screens of Firefox. One is the "this is embarrassing" screen. The other is "Choose your Persona" screen. I closed it and reopened and it took me to my home page.
