Right Stephen, tried blowing out .mozilla.  No dice.  I had to revert to
the tried and tested solution of reinstalling mozilla.  It is working for 
now.  Upgrades I shall leave until I progress to 10/10.1.  More features
probably not needed - all I do is browse, download and save, but if Firefox is 
guaranteed not to break down in this way it would be worth getting I guess.
Does it support the mailto protocol?  1.4 doesn't.
