Hi Guitar Man,
The "good news" has stopped.
In Windows Exploring I have these paths:
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\Profiles--blank
_C:/WINDOWS/ApplicationData/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/4y5qnqh7.default/
<file:///C:/WINDOWS/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/4y5qnqh7.default/>
_All my bookmarks, etc. are there.
Now, here come the problems I encountered. First, Firefox site has upgraded to
Firefox 3 on June 17, and after waiting 2 hours for it to download on my
dial-up, I got the message that it wouldn't install on my OS. I searched and
found Firefox 2 and downloaded and installed that. It opened fine, and as I
said above, all my bookmarks, etc. were there.
Then I tried to open the web site requiring Flash, and wouldn't you know /it
tried to open in Quicken!!!!/ And, of course, I got the same "broken" message
that started this whole process in the first place. UGH!!!
All your time and effort! At least, I can open that web site on my Internet
Explorer.
I'm off again for two weeks, so I'll check back with you when I get back.
Thanks for everything.
Beverly
