Firefox Download Manager Broken in MacOS X

2006-12-17 by dudegalea in computers

Firefox Download Manager (Firefox 2.0, MacOS X) shows up, but is completely blank, and the folder name is missing.

To fix this, you need to create a completely new profile.

cd /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS

./firefox -ProfileManager

Then cd to the new profile directory (under ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles).

Copy bookmark* and cookie* from the old profile.
