Dead filter error.

This is really minor, but it's officially annoying now. About 2 hours or so after i installed that last FF update, it crashed and erased a filter (down to 0kb). Every single time since, every time, all the times, each time, that I open FF since then, it beeps at me and gives an error message that it can't load that filter. That's gotta get fixed, some temp file that didn't get emptied properly or something. Where do I find it and manually remove it for now til you can fix it in the next Pc build ?

Thanks Krae, but it's not there. I'm thinking maybe some kind of registry thing or something, quite possibly error has nothing to do with the file at this point. After it beeps at me and gives me the error, it then opens to the last filter I used, like it normally would if there was no error glitch going on.

I get this a lot also. FF crashes. Kills the filter I was working on - it goes to 0kb and can't be loaded. (I can locate the ffxml file using the locate file on one of my similarly named surviving filters, though.)

Seriously, this seems to happen at least once every few hours of FF use. I've become compulsive about saving backups. If anyone could tell me why it's doing this, it would be much appreciated! (some memory thing, maybe?)

Occasionally, it crashes so bad that it 'forgets' the filter structure. That is, all my downloaded filters disappear from the filter browser. (!) If I download a filter from the FF website, it's able to right itself. However, if there is no internet connection, then there are NO downloaded filters. (my filters are preseved.) It also deletes all of my 'favorites' when this happens.
