Comment 6 for bug 247129

Trying to localize the cause of my problems.

Today, I did a complete removal of everything related to Firefox, Mozilla and Xulrunner (Only xulrunner-1.9 couldn't be removed because ubuntu-desktop relies on it, as was pointed out in Synaptic). Thereafter, I, manually removed the Firefox, Mozilla and Xulrunner folders that were still there after the "complete remove" except, of course, the xulrunner-1.9 folders. I did a fresh install of Firefox3, of gnome support for Firefox3 and xulrunner, and of Ubufox. When I then started Firefox, I got a screen where settings could be imported. There, it was already obvious that the fresh install didn't change anything about my mixed-up layout. I checked /etc, /usr/lib and /usr/bin for virusses with avast! Antivirus, with the latest virus database (downloaded today) and in Standard mode. I also did a scan in Thorough mode of the firefox, mozilla and xulrunner folders in /usr/lib, of the /usr/share/mozilla folder and of the /root folder. Besides a corrupted Krita-KDE4 file, everything was OK. I , furthermore, did a reinstall of libxulrunner-1.9. This didn't change anything about the layout. I then removed the various xulrunner folders from /usr/lib and started Firefox. As expected, Firefox couldn' be started. I placed the xulrunner-1.9 folder back in /usr/lib and started Firefox. Now Firefox started as usual with the mixed-up layout. So the fault doesn't lie within the folders xulrunner-addons and xulrunner-devel-1.9 in /usr/lib. To conclude : Since xulrunner-1.9 is the only package related to Firefox that wasn't "completely removed", the fault will most likely lie somewhere within /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9, /etc/gre.d or /etc/xulrunner-1.9. Because no other person has reported the same problem yet, I just can't see what went wrong with my installation of Firefox3 and other packages.
