Hey Tim:

In the address bar type:

    about:config

to list the firefox config parameters
or:

    about:plugins


to list the plugins.

Regards,
Lou

I have been having a problem with firefox (on a ThinkPad T23).
Basically, it exits as soon as certain sites are accessed.
I downloaded the sources at one of these sites (with wget)
and the same behaviour occurred when looking at the file.

I think the problem lies in _javascript_;
when I turned it off (in Firefox Preferences)
the problem stopped in most (but not all) cases.

I tried removing and re-installing firefox and js (with yum)
but this didn't do any good.

It seems to me the problem probably lies in a firefox plugin.
So I was looking at these, and found the whole setup pretty confusing.

I wonder if there is any document that explains firefox setup clearly?
I really hate these directories with names like "9eaqek76.Default User".
Why these idiotic names?

Is there any simple way of seeing what plugins are in use?
And if one deletes a plugin, how can it be replaced?
