Indeed, our wrapper script removes that file when it starts Firefox. That means you can get errors if you upgrade Firefox while it's running. Did you try restarting it? Did you still see the error? Where did you find your XUL.mfasl? Maybe are script isn't detecting it properly. -- Eric Dorland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ICQ: #61138586, Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1024D/16D970C6 097C 4861 9934 27A0 8E1C 2B0A 61E9 8ECF 16D9 70C6 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s++: a-- C+++ UL+++ P++ L++ E++ W++ N+ o K- w+ O?
