We're not talking about transient issues either. It isn't at all likely that it was just a coincidence that the problems went away that particular time I restarted Firefox. As far as I could tell I was seeing them every single time I used Firefox, no matter what pages I was viewing, for well over a week, and then they instantly went away when I moved the diretories around and put them back. As unlikely as I think it is, I have to assume that Firefox is keeping some state somewhere other than in ~/.mozilla/firefox, and moving that directory out of the way temporarily caused that other state, in whatever other location it is, to get cleaned up. That theory does seem far-fetched, but I can't think of a better one. jik |
