Hi. My problem: In one of my iMacG5's two accounts (the administrator
one, not the other one), whenever I open Firefox, it dumps a bunch of
preference files all over my desktop: xpti.dat, signons.txt, cert8.db,
prefs.js (although, curiously, that one's icon bears a Safari icon;
the others don't) ... and many, many more.
Firefox seems to think my desktop is its preferences file, and I
haven't had any luck figuring out how to persuade it otherwise.
Any tips?
Thanks.
Locate the file org.mozilla.firefox.plist in your Preferences Folder.
Make sure that the FireFox application is stopped.
Then delete the org.mozilla.firefox.plist file.
The system will rebuild the file when you start the FireFox application
the next time it is launched.
Not sure that this will cure your problem, but it's something to try.
Perhaps you have locked or have change the owner of the folder where
the OS wants to store the
those file. I don't think that they are preference files, perhaps they
are temp. files which are usually hidden from the user. You can unhide
the file if you want to locate where they are on your administrator
account. Would you explain this statement more in detail. Usually you
have a login account, which can on not have administrator privileges.
Like one login might be "bulldog" and it doesn't have administrator
privileges, and then another login "pussycat" which has the
administrator privileges set. So I'm a little confused when you say
"the administrator
one, not the other one"
