With monster applications like web browsers this distinction has become blurred long ago (I'd bet Firefox is a couple of orders of magnitude more complex than the PostgreSQL server). No idea how consistent a browser profile directory is when "in flight", with its innumerable caches and SQLite databases and whatnot. Maybe each piece is consistent in itself (I hold SQLite in high regard), but whether there are any logical cross dependencies among the multitudes of little moving parts is anybody's guess. Then, I don't expect web browsers to be fully functional, anyway. Cheers -- t
