Hi,

I've trawled through so many forums to find an answer to my problem - perhaps it's quite unique.

About a year ago my firefox address bar's autocomplete stopped working at all. I have the latest version and I've tried all the tricks around dumping the cache etc. Anyway, I got a new Mac yesterday and I opened up Firefox and everything worked as it should - great.

However, I moved all my files/settings/applications etc across from my ole mac via migration assistant and now firefox does not work properly on that user account. So, I have two user accounts on the same mac, both running the same software applications. The user account with all the old files etc is the one I want to continue to use but Firefox won't work properly on it.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled, updated the version, cleared the cache...everything I can think of.

I'm sick of Chrome crashing on me.

Can anyone help???

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
