<Orion777> if I uninstall/reinstall firefox, will it fix corruption problems?
<Orion777> well, does uninstall/reinstalling something give a fresh install?
<Kage_Jittai> Orion777: do you care about loosing things like cookies, history, saved passwords?
<Orion777> no
<Kage_Jittai> Orion777: shutdown firefox, do rm -fr ~/.mozilla and restart
<Kage_Jittai> see if that fixes it
<Orion777> it says permission denied
<Orion777> kage jittai
<Kage_Jittai> Orion777: ....
<Kage_Jittai> Orion777: something is seriously messed up with your machine
<Orion777> well, how do I run the command as admin?
<ath_> Orion777, check the permissions
<Kage_Jittai> Orion777: sudo rm -fr ~/.mozilla
<Orion777> k it worked
<Orion777> oh restart the computer?
<ath_> no Orion777.
<ath_> Restart firefox.
<Orion777> it won't load anymore
<Kage_Jittai> Orion777: have you been playing around with chown -R?
<ath_> orion, type ls -la ~/ and paste the results at pastebin.com or something
<Orion777> no
<ath_> Orion777, you may have extracted some directories over your own.
<ath_> As root.
<ath_> or worse; extracted directories owned by a user from a different machine.
<Orion777> is logging out the same thing as restarting the computer?
<Orion777> I mean out then loggin in

<Orion777> kate_jittai, the command you gave me deleted my home folder, I had to reinstall kubuntu
<Orion777> rm -fr ~ /.mozilla is what you had typed
<ath_> No Orion777, you had somehow messed up the permissions for your entire box.
<[SilverFox]> LMAO
<Kage_Jittai> Orion777: that is not what I told you
<Kage_Jittai> I said: rm -fr ~/.mozilla
