[kde-linux] Cannot re-install Firefox

[Alain M.]

You probably have a problem in your profile directory, maybe something 
like a bad extention. Reinstalling will not help, try renaming your 
profile directory which is usualy located at:
   ~/.mozila/firefox/<random>.default
you can even copy back your old.bookmarks,html :)
