The removing profile info is due to corruption in nightlies. You *should* be okay without doing anything, but if you need to delete stuff, delete everything but: 1. Your prefs.js 2. Your bookmarks.html 3. Your mail folder 4. Your news folder You'll lose your history and all cached information doing this, I do it every so often anyway when running nightly installs, most developers do as well, I haven't had problems with anything thus far that this hasn't solved. grayrest
