Hi, thanks for the suggestion, this helped me to solve the problem. I ran apt-get remove "iceweasel --purge" and had these messages (didn't notice them before): dpkg - warning: while removing iceweasel, directory `/usr/share/iceweasel/chrome' not empty so not removed. dpkg - warning: while removing iceweasel, directory `/usr/share/iceweasel' not empty so not removed. dpkg - warning: while removing iceweasel, directory `/usr/lib/iceweasel/components' not empty so not removed. Looking in those directories I found some old add-on data. I renamed those directories to iceweasel_old, reinstalled iceweasel, and the red carot + big area at the bottom is gone. What happened is that a few weeks back I installed an old version of the LiveHTTPHeaders plugin by mistake (for firefox 1.5 iirc). The installer warned me that it wanted to write to /usr/share/iceweasel/chrome and /usr/lib/iceweasel/components so I made those locations writable. Afterwards, I couldn't remove the add-on (it wasn't in firefoxe's add-ons menu), so I tried to manually remove it from those dirs, but it looks like I missed a few places. There wasn't anything strange with iceweasel until I re-installed it recently and made a new home directory. It might have been using that XUL cache you mentioned. Anyway, thanks for the help :-) David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
