To find out what is really being used you have to go to: about:config and change the parameter: browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions to false from true. Then you can go to: Edit->preferences->Content->Manage to see what is really being used. However, since the OP can't go to Edit->preferences without crashing we have a real problem. OT: To show the value of the fedora-list, in contemplating this problem I fixed the ability to play NPR program stream through firefox which had been broken for me since several updates of firefox. -- ======================================================================= There's always free cheese in a mousetrap. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
