I couldn't find a "firefox" package.



Okay, I had many problems with firefox after I upgrade a few weeks ago.
There were many ubuntuforums posts.



Now I upgraded to 1.0.6 and I have problems with the sidebar staying
blank.  I also cannot use about:config .



How do I completely wipe all firefox profiles, extensions, folders,
etc. and start from scratch.  Is the 1.0.6 package stable to use?  I
know about /var/lib/mozilla-firefox and the ~/.mozilla folder.  Are
there other places?



thanks!
