You have to have the profile directory there otherwise Firefox can't check if it is open already. Try something like ~.mozilla/firefox $ for i in *.default ; do mv $i OLD.$i; mkdir $i; done And you can open Firefox with a clean profile. Alternatively, ~.mozilla/firefox $ mv profiles.ini OLD.profiles.ini And then Firefox will think it is being opened for the first time. Concerning the slowness being gone, maybe it was just luck? -- Pedro -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
