Arcade games have the chance to crash Mozilla Firefox. What it does is it crashes the browser but the computer still thinks the browser is open but it's not open, so it won't allow you to reopen it in the event of harming the program *anti self destruct mode*. In the event of a crash, this is how you repair it: ctrl/alt/delete, find " firefox.exe ", end task, and that should clear the problem.
** anti self destruct mode** explanation: when the program crashes, the program remains running, but becomes invisible on your pc. When you try to bring the browser back up, the reason the "select a profile" box opens is so that there's no chance of damaging the program.
I don't know what it is that does this, but I'm sure no one here could've known beforehand, so Brad told me to post this note so's it doesn't happen to everyone that uses MF. I don't necessarily know that it will definitely happen to all MF users, but I know that it happened to me, twice now, and it really sucks when it does!! lol I just thought I'd give everyone a heads up on that.
I don't know. I was playing the Bounce Out game last nite, as usual (it had never done this before when I played it) and it did it then. Brad got up this am at 4 and got on the computer to check his emails and such and he's like "what did you do to the computer last nite??" So I told him what I did- played the game, checked in here to see what's new, checked my email and so forth. So he had to go in and find out what exactly was wrong and fix it and it took him like 20 min to fix it. So I couldn't get back to sleep and I clicked on the link that Twink gave from the Penguin game and it did it again, only this time it just took me to a lil box that said "choose a profile" and I called Brad and he told me which one to choose and to delete the other one on there (he made a new one when he didn't know what was wrong) and I did that and everything was fine again, till I went back and played Bounce Out again. Then it screwed everything up again so I had to use the ctrl/alt/delete thing and it was all good again and he told me not to go back to any of those games. He asked if they were all from the same place and I said no, that some of them are from Yahoo games and some are from elsewhere. So I can't play the arcade games anymore, as we really don't know what it is that keeps doing this.
i cant even play the penguin game. as soon as it loads it says game over. lol but i was up half the night playing bounce out and the map game. now twink has me hooked on that darn tropical swaps game ! lol.
my hubby used MF and he gets screwed up with yahoo games especially. There is a website called pogo.com you can play a ton of games there and even win prizes money included. Hubby and I play there all the time. Never had a problem with this and MF. http://www.pogo.com

I'm glad you found out how to fix it mollie. For a while there I thought you were going to start pulling out your hair cause you weren't sure what was going on. LOL
Well, I still am not going to use any of the arcade games here, since a lot of them are from Yahoo games, I think. I found out how I can play Bounce Out again though. I'm so addicted to that game, I had balls bouncing in and out of my head while I was TRYING to sleep!! lol.
i forgot about that paperboy game ! lol that was a fun one.
and bounce out is way too addicting. i think it was around 4 in the morning before i went to bed. and then i had to play it again when i got up. i guess it beats blowing my money at the casino though. lol
Last night twinkletoes put up a post that had a game on it that wasn't on the furum games and it was kind of long and kind of hard. It seemed to get harder the farther you went.
i think i am good on the games. i was happy to find the bounce out game so i could get off the other one. now twink posted that tropical swaps game and geez.......i need to get a life
I don't watch the TV that much but yet when I'm on the computer I have it on but thats just so that its not dead quiet while I'm on here. LOL I don't even know whats on half the time.
