Again, I'm really ignorant, but I have one other thought. Have you tried moving all the user-specific stuff directory to another name and letting FF start up "fresh"? I recently had a problem regarding the destruction of the pluginreg.dat. Still waiting to hear if I should post a bug on it. The problem was having FF check to see if it was the default browser (needs to be disabled). Anyway, since you've re-installed, maybe something corrupted some configuration files. It's easy to do, so worth a try I guess. The ones with which I'm familiar are ~/.mozilla/firefox and ~/.mozilla/ although I don't think the latter one is involved. There's probably some system-wide ones, but I've never had to chase those down yet. BTW, did you try an rpm verify after the re-install? We don't want to "assume" that things were not corrupted by the download/install process. > ><snip sig stuff> I need to add you to my spell-checker. It want's me to believe you're a "Drunkard". :-) HTH -- Bill
