You could delete the "xxxxxxxx.slt" in your ~/.phoenix/default/ directory and restart Firefox. Sometimes thats corrected some strange happenings for me. I did not lose my settings when deleteing "xxxxxxxx.slt". Restart Firefox and it will create a new "xxxxxxxx.slt" with your old settings. May help, I don't know, I don't use the mdk rpm version. Mike
