Following article below to transplant data from my old ".firefox" profile to a new ".mozilla/firefox" profile allowed preserving all the state of my browser config I'm interested in preserving without causing the issue to recur. I removed ".adobe" and ".macromedia" at the same time I renamed ".firefox" and ".mozilla" just to be sure. So I guess I found a workaround without ever understanding what was actually wrong. Maybe my Iceweasel installation has lasted more versions that imagined possible by some programmer somewhere. http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile#w_your-important-data-and-their-files -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
