Aha. If you don't know, why are you then making suggestions? |

Me neither. And there's no need to be one. |

And because of that, you're contradicting? |

Well, you don't read much, do you? |

Okay, you actually do not read much. I'm rather active in the |
| 50 |
german Mozilla newsgroups, and the far majority of problems is |
| 51 |
caused by profile issues. |
| 52 |

| 53 |
But why are you saying: "I don't see how that would help anything."? |

| 67 |
to a known good state. And that's what a blank profile is. |
