Did that and got a clean copy of Firefox going. However when I attempted 
to do a Google search on "Firefox profiles" it crashed with the same old 
message:

jim at JimsBook:~$ firefox -ProfileManager
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library 
/opt/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so [libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory]
Attempting to load the system libmoon
Segmentation fault
jim at JimsBook:~$

Maybe I should try to find and delete the reference calling for the 
nphelix library in a configuration file. I've been looking in .mozilla 
but no joy so far. I have   removed RealPlayer using Synaptic. Perhaps I 
should try to remove/reinstall Firefox? I'm not sure that some or all of 
these issues can be traced back to the Update-Mangler. It crashed at or 
near the completion of the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04. I restored the 
damaged file system tree with "apt-get --configure -a" as advised 
earlier, that enabled me to use Synaptic. I'll try to take out Moonlight 
(libmoon, etc.) and see what that does, it never worked anyway.

Thanks

Jim
