Firefox not detected?

[Zenobia]

Spybot 1.6 does not seem to be detecting Firefox. I recently formatted my system and reinstalled Firefox using MozBackup which restores all of a profile's settings and extensions.

Did you have Firefox 3 before you reinstalled windows Vista?

[sfdxsm]

yes i did.

Okay.
Deleting my permissions.sqlite file caused Spybot not to be able to immunize Firefox,though Firefox was recognized.
And I'm also not sure that this has to do with permissions.sqlite,since Firefox is not recognized.
I'm also unsure what part,if any,Mozbackup has to do with all this.
:l

So....not to delay,but could you go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox and open profiles.ini.Please copy and paste what is written in it here.

I don't think Mozbackup had anything to do with it either only because I've used it before and tried getting Spybot to detect Firefox without using it.

Data from my profile.ini:

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/vszre17v.default

How does Spybot detect Firefox? Scanning the program files folder or registry or other?

Your profiles.ini looks normal.

Is there a prefs.js file at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\vszre17v.default?

[sfdxsm]

Yes there is.

Okay,I'm stumped.I can't figure why Spybot can't detect Firefox for immunization.

Firefox is installed to the default location?I.E.,the Mozilla Firefox is located at C:\Program Files?And the Firefox folder is located here: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\?

[sfdxsm]

Yup, installed in the proper location. Very odd indeed.

Do you only have the one profile for Firefox?

[sfdxsm]

Yep, only one.
