when i am using firefox on my home pc, all my settings work. when I use another pc however, it goes back to it's original state;with none of my settings or extensions(except they appear in the add-ons menu). the files work too. so i used an application called dependency walker to diagnose this. what i found was 4 problematic files all of which are .dll files.these files are:DWMAPI.DLL,EFSADU.DLL,SHLWAPI.DLL and MPR.DLL.the error messages i get with them are:
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found;And:
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.
so far, i have found SHLWAPI.DLL and MPR.DLL,but not DWMAPI.DLL and EFSADU.DLL. If anyone can help via a free
application and/or technical advice that would be appreciated.thanks!:)

On the computer loading wrong settings,
1. c:\documents and settings\[user name]\application data\
2. you should see a Mozilla folder there, browse it
and delete the Firefox stuff there (back it up or delete if you don't need it)
3. also go to:
c:\documents and settings\[user name]\local settings\application data\
4. if you see a Mozilla folder, browse it for Firefox stuff and delete
Basically if Firefox was installed on the computer before, it might try to load settings from these directories...
ok! so would the application data folder be hidden?
You have to enable hidden folders. Open an instance of Explorer, go to Tools/Folder Options/View and click the bullet "Show Hidden Files and Folders". You should then see the hidden folders in Explorer.
