I guess most users agree with you that a real fix would be nice. But until that happens by what do you expect to happen? The !Help of FF 2 r2 file which you ask us in !ReadMe to read suggests this as for Troubleshooting: You might have problems starting up, especially if you had an aborted start up from a previous version. In this case, I recommend you delete Choices:Mozilla.Firefox and try again. Well doing just that, that is removing Choices:Mozilla guarantees for me and quite a few others that FF 2 r2 will *NOT* run but try to load over and over again. Well me being German perhaps I mis-understood the word 'troubleshooting' to mean to create trouble ;-) When I first tried to use FF 2 r2 all I got was messages running over my screen suggesting that it tried to load, failed for some reason, retried, failed, retried ... until I put this mess to an end. Then I re-read your !Help file especially since you made it clear that unless someone does to it won't run. Well with doing so it didn't either. So I went to your FF page and looked for help there but nothing on there helping with the problem either. So I asked on this list if someone else had that problem assuming that you'd not be keen to get this bug report over and over again from all sorts of users and I got the hint to copy the choices from FF 2 r1 from !Unixhome over to Choices.Mozilla.Firefox. After that FF 2 r2 did indeed load and work. Good! But the solution Paul outlined is even nicer since there is no need to first download and run FF 2 r1. As a matter of fact he even offers the base choices as download. Thanks Paul! Peter, may I suggest that you simply offer a small update for FF 2 r2 which includes default choices and a small addition to the !Run file which copies the default choices to Choices.Mozilla.Firefox if they are not there. Or, simply be happy for the help from others and add a link to Pauls website to your FF pages. Please note: It would have been less work for you to do just that instead of doing your postings in this thread... -- Herbert Herbert zur Nedden German Archimedes Group http://www.gag.de Herausgeber DER deutschen RISC OS-Zeitschrift. --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/iyonix-support Other info via //www.freelists.org/webpage/iyonix-support
