1. Environment
The three operating systems are on separate hard drives. They are chosen at 
startup by grub. XP never has access to the web. It provides the driver for a 
Sagem Photoprinter and a Canon 8400F scanner that lack Linux drivers. Intrepid 
was on one drive. It was updated to Jaunty in the hope of clearing a couple of 
difficult bugs that do not exist in Hardy. Unfortunately the problems were 
inherited by Jaunty. i.e Jaunty was not a new install. Hardy was updated to 
Firefox 3.0
2. Running Jaunty/Firefox in safe mode temporarily disabling all items in start 
window made no difference.
3. Running Jaunty/Firefox with strace created /tmp/ffox.log.txt which was run 
before and after safe mode test. The file was blank after all runs.
4. The files in /.mozilla were renamed. Firefox restarted in normal mode. 
Toolbar controls all worked OK.
5. Attempted to import bookmarks and history from Hardy. The import program 
cannot see Firefox on another drive (like all previous versions). Started 
Hardy/Firefox and exported Bookmarks and History to Jaunty Desktop. Both 
exported HTML files defaulted to the same name! (are they the same?). Started 
Jaunty/Firefox and imported HTML files. The bookmarks loaded OK, history still 
blank. History is not all that important.

Thanks for the ideas.
