You want me to cd to .mozilla/firefox/o8u6238s.default. o8u6238s.default is the name of my default file. Then run: grep bing * > bing.out That returns a file with 4 lines , 28 words and 110008 characters. The file is completely unreadable (mostly gobbely gook) Well you can find bing appearing in the file but not a line which you can easily deal with. I could grep each file in the directory but that is a lot of work for a minor annoyance But maybe I will do it some day. But in principle I am sure this method would trace down the problem. -- ======================================================================= Don't worry so loud, your roommate can't think. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
