Huh. I've been using Ubuntu since 6.04 and never figured that out.

Nice one - thanks!

In that case I amend my advice:

- record any customisations
- remove the browser with "--purge"
- delete or rename the local config directory
- re-install the browser
- re-create any customisations

Regards, K.
