[csw-users] firefox problem

[Dan O'Callaghan]

Hi
I've removed firefox & mozilla.
I've deleted all directories that mention firefox & mozilla in /opt/csw
& /home, including the .mozzila .firefox.
i've checked gconf folders and can't find anything referencing mozilla
or firefox.

I've also tried logging in as another user and i still get the same
error messages, so it's nothing in my home directory.

anyone got any further ideas to try??????
Does anyone know where the extensions are installed and what files make
reference to them??

cheers
