That is a Mozilla mantra (that flies in the face of common sense). I know

Varies from group to group. Let the moderator make that call.

Hopefully, some nice reader will add.

It's not really a question of removing the extensions. I use SeaMonkey
browser, so where I go in the program to customize it and select preferences
is sometimes different than in FF. But with either you can create a new
profile. When you do that you will be presented with the default set-up and
no user-added enhancements. If you still have your current problem with that
set-up, then the corruption is in the install directory and will be hard
(and probably inadvisable) to fix. If there is no problem you can then
install your extensions and themes one by one, and if want you can keep
testing between extension installations to verify things are still
copasetic.

mozilla.support.firefox is the best place to post for FF problems. They know
their stuff.

their eternal cross platform compatibility headaches that defy a
solution until one OS is put out to pasture, although the folks at
Mozilla would never admit that.

If you are up to it, one thing you can do, which I find simpler than
detective work, is to create a new profile and install your
extensions from scratch one by one. There are certain files you can
just copy in to regain the original GUI but that may be where the
problem is so it's best to create it all anew, except for bookmarks.

The problem is that before too long you are likely to experience the
same problem you have now, or a parallel problem, often something
javascript related. It's like cutting the grass.

There is no moderator, not here, anyway. If there was, top-posting would
rule and crackpots like Jo Mama would be told to take his crackpots,
destructive theories elsewhere.

You mean I've been on good behavior all this time for nothing? GEEEEESH!! (I
figured if you can't post a screenshot, then somebody somewhere is running
the show).

But seriously, I just read that Microsoft is dipatching hundreds of "Windows
Vista Gurus" to Best Buys all around the country to try to coax people back
into the laptop aisle. Why can't they just do this for Windows 98 and bury
this top post-bottom post debate once and for all?

and has since been solved.

Don, just an FYI for you, at my work it was with Internet Explorer that the
scripts became unresponsive on my end.
