Firefox Profile Not Showing Up In Immunization List

[danodemano]

So this has been ongoing for some time now but I'm just getting around to trying to fix it. I have done a few searches and was unable to find anyone else having this problem. The only one I found is that it won't immunize Firefox but it does show in the list. My problem is that Firefox doesn't even show up in the list. I have 2 profiles and neither of them are there. I'm not really sure how to track down this problem and would appreciate any help. System spec below:

Windows Vista Home Premium x86
Spybot 1.6.2.46
Firefox 3.5.2

This machine has never had FF2 on it, the first version installed was version 3. The profiles are in the default directory (at least I believe they are, that's why Firefox created them). Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Dan

I'm having the same problem; made a thread about it a few days ago.

It works just fine on XP on my desktop, but the profile does not appear on my laptop, running Vista (both have S&D 1.6.2 and FF 3.5.2)

It wouldn't by and chance be an HP laptop, would it? My XP laptop at work sees the FF profile. I don't have any reason why it doesn't work on my Vista system.

I have a self-built desktop and a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop.

I'm quite certain it's a Vista problem here.

Alright, just checking. I believe that you are correct, and that it's a Vista issue. Though I could swear the before my last Vista reinstall, it worked. Maybe SP2 or one of the security fixes broke it somewhere along the way. Though I find it hard to believe that we are the only two having the problem. :P

Hello,

Have you started your Spybot with a rightclick and choose "Run as admin"?

And then hit the immunization?

UAC is not enabled on my machine, hence everything is run as an admin.

likewise; my UAC is disabled and I am the admin
