there was 2 options at the bottom of the box. one was to "continue" without fixing the exception, which I took. I don't remember option 2. I think I found the missing file under Desk Top icon "Old Firefox Data". The name of the file is - c:\documents and settings\bob\application data\mozilla\ firefox\profiles\3bn5nbjy.default\prefs.js

When I log on the Firefox home page comes up, I go to browser and click on AOL and the little grey rotating circle (counter clockwise) keeps going forever. never turns green. 

 Hope this helps,

Sounds that Firefox has been reset and a new profile got created and something went wrong with finishing the process.

When Firefox is reset then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder. Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.

It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem
