(probably somewhere under/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/...) "locate firefox | more" might be helpful. you might also want to copy your ~/.firefox directory to ~/.firefox.old, reinstall, launch, close, then manually move any settings you want to keep back into the newly created ~/.firefox directory. good luck, epi > > /andreas > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
