???

I installed a new theme...just to experiment, because I've had my old one (Noia eXtreme) for ages. I didn't like the new one...changed back. Closed Firefox and restarted, to find it looking like that!

Tried closing it and restarting it. Tried ending all processes with firefox in them. Tried closing and restarting X. Nothing worked :(

Anyone have any ideas? This is scary...Firefox actually has a problem :( Its not perfect after all :(

Thanks.

check my firefox problem thread, and do the whole regedit thingy that betty made m do, before you re-install. helped with mine. apperently firefox leaves registers with the settings that arent deleted when you uninstall.

allso do that for the skin software, remove all registers manually.

Yeah, I read that thread. But the regedit thing is for windows, I use Linux...

But i think the same sorta thing applies...I just don't know where it saves the settings and files and stuff. I deleted the ~/.firefox/`-0-4/installer directory all together, downloaded it again and ran the firefox-installer script/file. Opened Firefox...problem hasdn't gone :( Plus...I wanna keep some of my settings. I've exported my bookmarks to bookmarks.html, but I want to keep my extensions as well, as well as my large list of adblock sites...

Thanks for posting BTW :)

OK,

I deleted the entire .firefox directory...and still had the problem. In the end, I had to rename my mozilla directory to .mozzila_old and then reinstall Firefox. I loaded it up, and everything looked normal again! :D I imported my bookmarks...copied my extensions over from the .mozilla_old folder...but it didn't work :( All that tweaking, changing of config files, about:config stuff...all of it...gone :( All those extensions as well :(

Does anyone know of any way to import those too, and get them to work??

Thanks.

-Rashid786- you could check in th new modzilla foder, and see what is inthere after a new install, and thn check inyour old folder, and delete everything that you dont need inthere, and try to remane teh old back to modzilla, and delete teh new one?
I dont know :( at least you could find that folder in lunix, I couldnt in windows..

Looks like your perfect Firefox isn't so great afterall...

it has a mistake with uninstalling. doesnt seem a problem that will make me stop using it...

Actually, no. It wasn't a problem with Firefox...or Linux for that matter either ;) It's a problem with Qute.xpi, which I foolishly downloaded ;) (i think it's .xpi...might be something else...)

Anyway, i thoguht you liked Firefox!

always work with the invisible / hidden folder when working with bad extensions. go to the FF forums for tips.
