If you want to continue using it, try the following : In your home/merlin direcory, rename the entire /.mozilla directory to i.e. /.old_mozilla. Then log out and back in, restart Mozilla. If it worked earlier, this procedure should reload default settings. If it works now, you can always copy back your mail and whatnot. I don't think you're hacked. But try running (as root) chkrootkit. > Do you think it would be easier to try and continue installing > Firefox or fix Mozilla? Why not upgrade your entire system to 10.0 ? - I understand you're on dial-up so downloading it is out of the question. But you can get very cheap CDs from a lot of places , like here : http://cart.cheapbytes.com/cgi-bin/cart/0070011031.html http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/products/general/#pid16904 http://linuxcentral.com/catalog/index.php3?prod_code=L000-215&id=C1CBDkfPqzGCL Considering all your problems, I think it is worth it.
