yeah, I had a cool tool that would backup everything including the extentions. I dont remember it, but a quick google would work. Screw FF I use Opera.

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files. Now you can easily synchronize your office and home browsers.

FEBE backs up your extensions, themes, and (optionally) your bookmarks, preferences, passwords, cookies and just about everything else Firefox offers (it can even backup/restore your entire profile).

Version 5.0 allows for user-defined backups. Single files or entire directories can be specified to back up data for programs like Thunderbird, Greasemonkey, etc.

Backups can be performed on demand or scheduled for daily, weekly, or monthly unattended runs.

A comprehensive debug mode allows for troubleshooting complex platforms.

This is great for backing up your profile, however it sounds like you having a major issue with your Firefox that you should fix before using this.

i removed all the extensions and themes manually, disabled all running programs from task manager yet it still starts up as first run
its starting to annoy me
VERY BADLY

EDIT: found the issue
seems i had a few corrupted files in my local program file settings
i just deleted those and firefox stopped being so pissy
i did lose all my passwords etc though...
does anyone know which file is used to keep your passwords?
i left it in the recyclebin in case i might be able to retrieve it

Your passwords/cookies/etc are stored in the C:\users\\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles\.default\ directory in Vista and in XP is under C:\Documents and Settings\\AppData\... etc.

You probably didn't delete that path and you can copy over your old profile into your new one. Just go by file dates to find out which is the new one.
