Kudzu9, I asked this same thing just recently...using Hotmail and Firefox. Below is a link to the thread. and here is part of it. When you click on 'new' to send a message in hotmail and start a new message you will see 'show plain text' under the subject line. Click on this and it will change to 'show rich text'. Paste your link and when you send it it will be clickable. You can check this in your 'sent' box. You might want to read it all though, as I have an AOL friend who says they are not clickable for her from me. but I have some computer-challenged relatives who haven't quite mastered the concept of cutting and pasting a link, I too know lots of folks who do not know how to copy and paste at all. Here is a link that might be useful: how do I make a URL clickable in an email?

I guess I didn't give enough info. I was using the install disc and was trying to install an optional program called "Natural Color Pro" from the disc. As soon as I clicked on install it came up in Firefox. That was why i wanted to turn FF off, After i read the screen closely there was a workaround that I got to work. Everything is now working great, all I have to do now ti to learn how to use it. Thanks again.....Jim

As I recall, I had to download/install a newer version of Adblock Plus following the last Firefox update. Sometimes the add ons are no longer compatible and need to be reinstalled using a compatible add on. I'm sorry for those of you that struggle with the updates. I don't even give it a thought, I just expect to need to reconfigure after updates and take it in stride.

Is the profile you found in the correct place ? If so, just use the Profile Manager as I suggested above - that's what it's for. You can copy and paste files in, and it might work, but historically that has led to some problems in Firefox. I have done it though. If you use the Profile Manager, you can be sure Firefox "knows" about a different profile. Are you having trouble with that ? (Btw, even if the profile is in an atypical place it will still be loaded by FF and run fine. I actually put my profiles in a different place that I like to keep them.) I don't quite understand your reply to me, "I took it to finding Firefox profiles if it can't be accessed through Firefox." If this clarifies any, you can't run the Profile Manager while Firefox is running. You have to close FF, start the Profile Manager as is explained in the either of the articles, then choose a different profile as the default. It's pretty easy actually. To start the Profile Manager, in the Start>>Run dialog box, type in: firefox.exe -p
