Delete the Firefox directory and then apply regclean (Google for

it's on a MSFT site somewhere.)

You should be done. Reinstall Firefox.

I just went from Fedora Core 2.0 Linux to Mandrake 10 Community
Linux and
lost nothing. Nothing.

Normally I'd agree with you about reloading Firefox, but it and
Mozilla have a major security problem at the moment. You'll have
to turn off Java, Javascript and about everrything that makes it
useful versus IE to stop the problem. Hopefully a fix will be in
the next version, the new one doesn't have a fix.

Got a link? My sources don't seem to mention anything current. One
of
us has newer information than the other...not sure who.

Firefox 1.0.3 did indeed have a couple of issues but they have since
been patched in 1.0.4 IE with all available patches applied is still
full of holes though, you can check here http://secunia.com/product/9/
for a full list of IE issues and by comparison for Firefox
http://secunia.com/product/4227/.

Firefox "Currently, 4 out of 17 Secunia advisories, is marked as
"Unpatched" in the Secunia database." with the highest threat level
being Less Critical 2/5

IE "Currently, 9 out of 47 Secunia advisories, is marked as "Unpatched"
in the Secunia database." with the highest threat level being Highly
Critical 4/5
