A comment on the question "Flock Browser Misappropriating Internet Explorer links" in Flock:
Hi earig43, that's a very good question. Looking back, that's probably the info that the original poster Tom was looking for. I was able to find a blog post that covers doing exactly that: http://blog.scoopz.com/2008/02/25/cre...
The basic idea is to get the path to the .EXE for Internet Explorer (or another browser) and then create a shortcut including this file followed by the URL you wish to open. Full details at the link above. – Chris Vance, on February 25, 2010 20:42
A comment on the problem "None of Flock's features are working" in Flock:
Renaming the flock-data.sqlite file will not remove your bookmarks. It will only make you re-login to sites which offer special integrations with Flock (eg. Flickr, Gmail, Wordpress, etc).
I just did this, renaming my flock-data.sqlite file before starting Flock, and I still have my bookmarks, RSS feeds, and browser history (I have Flock home page set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" and Flock opened right where I left off).
If renaming the file does not solve the problem, please create a new thread. The previous posts are over 9 months old, and the particular problem many of these people were experiencing should have been fixed in a previous release. – Chris Vance, on February 02, 2010 05:51

When I visit pogo.com, and click the Sign In link at the top, I get:
http://www.pogo.com/action/pogo/signi...
Can you find out what the URL you are using for the login page? When you click the link and Flock loads to the main pogo.com page, is the back button active/highlighted at the top of the browser?

Browser extensions are powerful but can sometimes cause problems if they are not coded and tested properly. Since Flock is based on Firefox, if you install the same plugins you used in Firefox you might experience the same problems here as well.
From your post, it sounds like you are having problems uninstalling some of your extensions, correct? Have you isolated the problem down to certain extensions?
One thing you can try is to load the browser in safe mode. Instructions: http://flock.com/faq/show/30#q_61805
When you start the browser in safe mode, Flock runs with the extensions disabled. From here, you might have better luck uninstalling them. Note that these steps are similar for Firefox as well.
Let folks know if running the browser in safe mode helps you to uninstall your extensions.
