The current pluginreg.dat was 65 bytes. Fired up FF from the desktop, went to T'bird, clicked the link. Went to tools->add-ons and looked at the plugins tab. EVERYTHING IS THERE NOW! Another find shows pluginreg.dat is now 5267 bytes, the same as my saved pluginreg.dat-. It's beyond me unless there's the old uninitialized pointer problem, or memory leakage or some-such. Those files are still available now. -- Bill
