The laptop on which I usually work was going on a trip with someone else, so late last night (=early this morning) I copied my profile folder to a storage location on the computer I'm using at the moment, thinking I would get it set up today. All this is taking place in Windowsland.

The computer I'm on right now has 3 identities: Admin, Me, and Him.

So, not having read all the fine print in the kb, I copied that profile data from the laptop to the appropriate folder under Documents and Settings/Me/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles.

Now I when I try to run firefox.exe while logged in as Me, nothing happens. Zero. Nada. Zip. Crickets chirp.

So I logged off as Me and logged in as Admin. I tried to follow the instructions for using the Profile Manager to set up a new profile, Me, without the old prefs.js file. Then I tried running Firefox under Admin.

No dice. I can't even run firefox.exe -P from the Run window, at least not while loggin in as Admin.

At present I am logged in as Him, and I'm afraid to do anything lest I screw up some more.

Help me, Obi-Wan, you're my only hope!
