I would start by creating a new, blank profile, so you can get a "blank" user.js and prefs.js Then get a file-compare tool and run a comparison with your current ones. That should prove very instructive, in the "OMG how much crap is there in my setup" sense. I did that once years ago Your mail and USENET settings should be around the "mail." section. Any settings you can't figure out what they do from the name... there used to be a fairly good commentary on MozillaZine. The fastest way to find the relevant page is probably Google. There should be entire sections you can safely delete -- mostly the ones beginning with "extensions.[some extension you don't use anymore]." Those are sometimes very, very big. Bookmarks are in places.sqlite, which is an entirely separate file and shouldn't be affected. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
