I checked the homepage settings both from edit, preferences and from about :config and it was set correctly. I assumed Firefox would have "restore defaults" button but it doesn't.Ģ-Something (malware presumably) was causing Firefox to start up with 2 tabs loading on.com and instead of my home page. Am I going to have to completely reinstall the whole system to get rid of all traces of Firefox so I can install it cleanly? Not a big deal if I need to, but I'd like to understand this.Īs to WHY I want to do this, just in case it has relevance or someone is curious, 2 independent reasons:ġ-I played around with font and color settings in multiple profiles and neglected to keep one unmodified. Then I reinstalled and it STILL used one of my old profiles (and by Murphy's Blood it picked one of the most fscked up ones to keep!). I did this again and then found and deleted every file and directory in my system containing either "firefox", "ubufox", or "mozilla" (except for a couple that were obviously only related to Thunderbird) as part of the name. I went back to Synaptic and completely removed everything that had firefox in the description and then reinstalled. My old screwed up profiles and bookmarks were still there. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling (2 separate steps) from Synaptic. I'd like to completely remove ALL traces of Firefox so I can do a complete reinstall.
