Broke Firefox...

Yea I had a stupid moment. I thought I was deleting my cache and suddenly all websites look like they have no CSS or anything, but its not disabled. I tried to reinstall firefox but this doesnt fix anything. IE works fine.

C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\6vkab14z.default\Cache is where I deleted from. It was almost 2gb in size and I thought it was normal cached files...oops!

So yea, fix?

And you can all completely ignore me...it has just started working again fine...no idea what happened.

Well if anyone would like to tell me what actually happened it would be something to learn.

Clear temp files via the built in applet (CTRL+SHIFT+DEL) instead of manually deleting stuff!

Probably firefox realised it didn't actually have the files it cached and redownloaded them.

Ctrl + F5 should reload the page if it ever looks like it's missing CSS.

Ah ha. Thanks for that tip. To be fair it was only a spare of the moment thing, I would generally clear them via firefox. Wont be doing that again anytime soon.
