[csw-users] Firefox extentions

[Robert Stampfli]

When these sorts of things happen, it is often something in your
user files (under ~/.mozilla/firefox) that is screwed up.  To see,
first "mv .mozilla/firefox .mozilla/firefox-save" and then restart
firefox.  It will assume it's being run for the first time and
repopulate everything.  Of course, you won't have your bookmarks
and tweaks, but if you can load extensions now, that's probably
your problem.

Rather than figure out what is wrong and correct it, I usually
just kill firefox and restore my bookmarks at this point:
"cp .mozilla/firefox-save/*/bookmarks.html .mozilla/firefox/*.default"
and then restart the browser and redo all my tweaks.

Good luck,
Rob
