a typo, and no responses.


"the FF forum" Which forum is that? I don't find your nick in
mozilla.support.firefox at the news.mozilla.org news-server.

I can't find it from this machine. I just went looking for it but
www.mozilla.org has morphed plenty since I last went there (probably a
year back) but back then there was a (community?) forum for asking
support questions, and there was also a link to unanswered questions.
About a month after posting it, I found it in there about 500 down
from the latest post.

Anyway;

Open 'about:config'.
Select the offending preference-entry in the list.
In the context-menu (pulled up by right-clicking) select 'Reset'.
Quit and then relaunch Firefox and verify that the entry have
disappeared from the 'about:config' preferences-list.

It was causing repeated lockups. A complete
remove/reg-clean/reinstall removed the corrupted key, although the
lockups remain. One of the main reasons I am looking at Opera ...

I also value the fact that the denizens of this n/g are in the
same time warp as me.

Hmm.., that makes me feel ...

Warped?
