John Hi John, The first thing I would do to correct this problem is Uninstall all the Mozilla packages and then reinstall them. first though, just for the same of curiosity, check the path that is given in the error message to verify that the file it's complaining about is indeed "not" there. Once you've installed the app things should be ok then. I fixed it myself without really knowing what I did. I found a file, cannot remember what it was called, sorry, inhome directory, deleted it and rebooted, a bit winblowish I know, but it created a new file and all went quiet. Sorry I cannot remember what file it was. John Was it, by any chance, the .Mozilla directory? Anne No, I would loose everything, all the settings etc, and that did not happen, no it was something else, and it rebooted to normal, no more error messages. I have a vague feeling it was some mysterious file inside.mozilla but as I say I cannot remember. Since then I have also had a spring clean in home directory and got rid of some other bits and pieces, like for instance mplayer compile and install error messages files I came across in home/tmp, all sorts of odd tempary files and such went out in a general clearance. It is amazing how much home directory fills with it all, you don't notice it half the time. I'm sorry anne but I cannot remember, all I can say is it was some ummemorable unusual file that I simply am not daily familiar with.
