Re: [LUG] Firefox suddenly stopped working on my Ubuntu Feist Fawn PC!

You can probably solve this by renaming your .mozilla directory to
.mozilla_old, which makes FF think you have never used the program
before, so it will create a new directory. If this works, you can copy
files from the old-but-renamed .mozilla-dir to the new one, to restore
settings, bookmarks, plugins etc.

Or, with a little help from Google, you might be able to find which
files FF stores its sessions and just move/rename those.

Hope this helps.

Martijn.
