It usually looks something like ~/.mozilla/firefox/ 3) Start Firefox again. It'll create a new profile. Firefox has occasional problems when the profile from an older version won't work for the new version. You should be able to copy or import the bookmarks file from the old format. But you'll have to do your settings all over again. -- Walter Dnes In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
