I wish you could. The next best thing would be to identify the 
functions of the various localstore.rdf files on my system. Here is 
what there is:

Directory of D:\Mozilla095\bin\defaults\profile
15.08.01   0.07       6206           0  localstore.rdf

Directory of D:\Mozilla095\bin\defaults\profile\US
15.08.01   0.07       6206           0  localstore.rdf

Directory of D:\Mozilla096\bin\defaults\profile
16.10.01  16.28       6391           0  localstore.rdf

Directory of D:\Mozilla096\bin\defaults\profile\US
16.10.01  16.28       6391           0  localstore.rdf

Directory of D:\Mozilla097\bin\defaults\profile
14.12.01   4.57       6839           0  localstore.rdf

Directory of D:\Mozilla097\bin\defaults\profile\US
14.12.01   4.57       6839           0  localstore.rdf

Directory of D:\OS2WEB\defaults\profile
14.02.01  18.22       3033           0  localstore.rdf

Directory of D:\OS2WEB\defaults\profile\en-US
27.08.01  16.03       3033           0  localstore.rdf

Directory of D:\OS2WEB\Mozilla\Users50\sheol\bwq0z5vg.slt
29.12.01  12.34      24645           0  localstore.rdf

As you can see, I have several versions on the system, identifiable by
their directory names. Apparently each one of these requires its own 
copy of this file, plus one per user. OS2WEB gets, in addition to 
these, also a copy that is meant to serve ALL the versions (OS2WEB is 
the directory pointed to by the MOZILLA_HOME variable).

>From the fact that ALL the versions are suffering from the same 
problem, I gather that the last-named file is the one I am looking 
for. 

I guess what I am after is a simple explanation for the multiplicity 
of these files. If the one(s) in the Users50 subdirectory is/are the 
operative one(s), what is the function of the copies local to versions
and to users? Do they do anything?

I have other questions:

Since none of the localstore files has any attribute other than A, it 
would seem that all the versions have lost their ability to update the
master localstore simultanously. How is that possible? I would venture
a guess myself, but I am not on the Mozilla team, and not even a very 
competent programmer, so I have to ask you. 

Do you agree that this problem demonstrates a bug? It looks to me that
this is the case, especially since the reason for the phenomenon seems
to be a mystery. Should I have directed my query to some other person 
or place? This NG was the first place that popped into my mind; I hope
you will tell me who I should have approached.

The localstore files are in plain text, so they should be editable 
manually. But the window dimenstions appear many times in each file, 
which makes things a little more confusing than they would be if there
were only one occurence. Can you direct me to a straightforward 
description of the format of these files?

Would you like to see one or more of these files? Or any other?
