That is correct.
I have done the usual things like trying to remove the directory
'Mozilla from choices, and i also tried replacing this with older ones
that where saved after a succesful Firefox session had been closed
quit.

I did replace the hard disc form my A9Home with a Compact Flash card,
and copied everything over from the HD to the CFcard. I had to change
a few things in Boot because of some absolute path names, and I had
changed the name of the CFcard to another name to reflect the
difference between the two.
I will try if using the old HD in my A9Home again would 'repair'
Firefox again, and let you know the result.
