Re: How to "reset" firefox?

In any case, I've put a lot of work into customizing friefox to try to get
it the way I want it, including adding a number of add ins. One of those is
"session mamanger".

This morning, I tried to go to a site, which seems to "lock up" firefxe. It
draws the site, but I can't do anything after that either with the mouse,
or the keyboard to firefox.

I killed it, and estarted it, but it insitis on going bakc to the same
site, and locking up. Is there some way I can "reset" firefox without
starting all over?

Do you have the proprietary flash plugin?  You may want to try going
going into /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugin and renaming every file in
there (except for the null plugin) to its original name with a .bak
appended to the end.  If your problem is a plugin that will let you at
least start firefox without its interference.
