Yes, I saw that after the new installation completed. Not important. Besides the question I asked above, still unanswered, I have other questions about Mozilla, and have already asked them twice. I hesitate to ask again, but the main question, which I think would interest many other than just me is the following: I have on my system both IBM Web Browser and Mozilla 0.9.5; Mozilla is using the profile and bookmarks that are in the Web Browser directory. I want to remove Web Browser, but keep the profile and bookmarks where they are; in other words, that directory would become devoted to profiles and bookmarks, and successive versions of Mozilla would continue to find them there. This configuration is mentioned in the Mozilla documentation, and makes a lot of sense. But I'm not sure about exactly which Web Browser files I have to leave, and which I can delete. My guess is that I need to keep the entire "Mozilla" directory (which is mainly several layers of empty subdirectories that exist only to hold the next level down, culminating in one with the highly descriptive name "bwq0z5vg.slt" that seems to have much of the profile apparatus. But wait, there is also a subdirectory elsewhere, called "profiles" that seems to be irrelevant, and there are several other directories that have suggestive names that argue for retention. In short, the directory structure is sufficiently Byzantine that I need a word from somebody who can see into the minds of the designers.
