Clearing history and cache had no affect. Renaming localstore.rdf also
had no affect.
Like I said this happened within the last month. When researching
updates done in January, I found these:
1/07/13 - Java 7 Update 10 (uninstalled on 1/8/13)
1/08/13 - TB 17.0.2, FF 18.0, MS monthly updates/patches
1/09/13 - Flash Player 11 plugin latest update
1/18/13 - Java 7 Update 11 (uninstalled on 1/20/13, decided I don't need
this right now,)
1/21/13 - FF 18.0.1
1/24/113 - MS Silverlight (uninstalling/reinstalling had no affect)
I don't believe any of the above is causing the problem.
As a test I started FF with a profile having this problem. Then I went
to Help->Troubleshooting Information and clicked the "Reset Firefox"
button. That let me see the charts but it also deleted all of the addons
and tab groups. I guess I could do the 'reset' and I could reinstall the
4-5 addons, but 1) I've have approx. 50 tabs in 8 tab groups that would
be difficult & time consuming to recreate (it might help if I knew where
these were stored), and 2) this doesn't tell me what causes the problem
- it just fixes the symptom until the next time.
Still open to suggestions. Thanks ~ Bruce
