No problem, its just confusing when different people are contributing on
soloving a problem in two different threads. You start to get
conflicting advice that way.
I'm glad you have it working again to your satisfaction, so I guess this
one is closed. I do feel constrained to point out though that this was
not an issue with Firefox. Firefox cannot impact your Netscape
installation in any way. From your description, it really sounds like
you inadvertently installed a Firefox extension into Netscape. That will
cause problems.
Your solution was probably more drastic then it needed to be, but in the
final analysis, its achieving the desired result that counts. Good luck
with Netscape.
