Unless you had installed firefox as a whole under a user's own home directory, the answer is most likely no. However, you can delete that user's mozilla files. Or actually, I would save the .mozilla folder elsewhere. A new .mozilla folder should be created when you start up mozilla. You may want to then copy the bookmarks.html folder and some other pertinent files like history, etc. into the new .mozilla folder in the exact same location as the old .mozilla folder contents. As a test before you do all this, open a terminal, su into root then type firefox, just to make sure it is not the application that is corrupted by rather, the user's settings. If it launches, (which it is launching under root's settings) then you know for sure it is the user's settings. Then proceed with the steps I mentioned above. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
