I tried renaming ~/.mozilla and starting firefox, with no success.
I believe that, since firefox never starts, it will not rewrite the ~/.mozilla directory.
When I enter firefox in a terminal, it comes back with "couldn't load XPCOM" in about a second, so it isn't getting very far.
I tried to clean things up a bit using package-cleanup but didn't do much. I did clean out old kernels and kernel-devel files. That didn't solve the problem.
I am not sure I mentioned it before, but I installed another, newer, version of firefox. It is a different version , from mozilla.org, that installs in my home directory instead of on the system. So far that works fine in parallel with the yum installed version (which still doesn't work).
I have attached new versions of the output of package-cleanup --orphans and --leaves, just in case I changed anything.
I believe I have tried everything that has been suggested, with no success. I intend to putter with the package-cleanup files next.
I am putting this on the back burner now because:
1. I have a working firefox.
2 fc13 is coming soon and I need to do a complete re-install anyhow. I have been using preupgrade with great success since fc9 but things are getting messy. My system is a mess with 3 hard drives, grub boot record installed on /dev/sda and the grub files on sda8, but I run fc12 from /dev/sdc7. I have two versions of ubuntu, puppy, and another fc12 installed and keeping up to date is just too complicated.
I will post if I find the answer and I would still appreciate any help. Otherwise I consider this thread closed.
Thanks for the help. You guys are great.
Don
