[Bug 247129] Re: blanks become tab characters

[wasimo]

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.
