There's 32 items in that default folder,four of which are folders. I
need to identify the specific ones I can and should remove, eventually.

Your $USER folder IS /Rowan - $USER is a term for 'your username here'.
.mozilla is a hidden folder ( as is any folder beginning in a . ), so
open up /home/Rowan and press ctrl + H, I think, to show all hidden
folders. Press this key combo again to hide them.

no, I had to tick "show hidden files" first, I see it now.'

I don't seem to have a /home/$USER/ folder. There's nothing in /home/
except /Rowan/, and nothing in /Rowan/ except /examples/.
I did see a folder called /Lost & Found/ but it disappeared when I tried
to open it, after telling me I didn't have permission to do so.

That sounds so straightforward, even I couldn't mess it up :-)

I don't think plug-ins get installed in the home directory, do they?
If so,
And because I forgot - while complete
removal will remove the configuration files as well it doesn;t to my
knowledge deal with any personal configs in your home directory

Firefox is a metapackage - whatever the exact description of that
entails I know not. I just think of metapackages as boxes with other
'stuff' in - not very technical but it get's me by :) - similarly
ubuntu-desktop (and kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop) are metapackages.

oh, quite so, Al, but I am merely trying to remove the things I myself
added yesterday - not items that were on the LiveCD, or that came with
the automatic updates that I received when I went online after running
the LiveCD and installing ubuntu 8.10 from it. In fact, I chose these

Re-installing applications actually rarely "fixes" anything. There are
a few exceptions to
In fact I think I have managed to locate the gnash 0.8.4 and swfdec

Nah there
Sounds good to me (but I can already hear Al thinking to himself, what a
typical lazy windoze style solution, he'll never learn anything if he
just uninstalls and re-installs en bloc every time he has detailed
issues...)

Just uninstall and reinstall Firefox itself, from Synaptic... then
when you have it re-installed don't add that particular plug-in to it!

I already tried both and SWFdec doesn't even appear under Synaptic,
which is what I meant when I said it had disappeared into the innards of
the firefox configuration. Evidently, just like Alan said, I shall need
some code, to find it from the terminal.
