I had to do that for another problem - my icons were missing, and if I added them manually the disappeared on restart. Not only did I cure that problem, but this one as well. The culprit? Don't know why I wasted list time - it was of course that stupid Ubuntu Firefox Modifications add-on. I had it disabled in previous versions, but disabling it now seems to have cured both the problems. Thanks for all the advice - in my Windows days safe mode is the first thing I'd try. This Linux lark is making me soft. :) Dianne -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
