Yes, that is a known problem. Firefox2-r2 needs its choices set up properly. One way to do it is to run Firefox2-r1 and copy its choices across from UnixHome (used by r1 to store its choices) to Choices: (as used by r2). It think this is described in the documentation. > I have also taken on board the advice to delete > Choices:Mozilla.Firefox That does not help as it is the lack of choices files that causes the problem. Of course, every application should be able to cope with not finding any choices and create suitable default choices in that case but unfortunately, the default choices created by Firefox2-r2 still cause the startup problem you observed.
