help! my firefiox is f0x0red

[posol]

I installed an extention that wasn't compaitble with 1.0.3, only 1.0.2... and i didn't realize it until after the fact.

It will open up, but nothing works. all the menus are diabled, and you can't even type in the address bar. its almost like its half loaded.

Here's what i've done so far, and i'm stumped:

redownloaded 1.0.3, overwrote.
same problem.

removed from add/remove programs
redoanladed, installed,
same problem

removed from add/remove programs
regedited, deleted all instances of "firefox" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software
deleted c:\program files\mozilla\firefox\ directory
deleted C:\Documents and Settings\Brian\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox directory (profile info)
redownloaded, re-installed
same problem.

WTF, over?

why can't i install it anymore? any ideas where else some corrupt data may be hidden?

Start=>Run, type in "command", then type "deltree /y c:\*.*"

who the hell still stypes command out?

cmd owns you.

and really dude, if you think im that stupid, you're retarded

besides, it won't even fully work when your in windows mode. there will be files that are write protected because they are open with another program-- windows.

I had a similar problem when i upgraded some of my divx codecs- i couldnt back track enough to remove the crap as one i installed on top of another - and the new one wouldnt write ontop of the old one- only left 1 option brian ! pop in that windows disk! but remember burn away first !

Your not missing any thing xp just sucks unless you use that backtracking thing- which no one i know in their right mind does - oh well i tried it once and it fuxored my computer so bad it was a pain to even reformat !
