A quick note regarding an error I was seeing with Firefox 0.9 this morning. It was crashing when I tried to start it and littering the Event Viewer with errors. To my horror, I had to use IE in order to find a fix for it…

After trying a few things, I found these instructions at the mozillaZine forums.

Go to your profile directory. Under Windows, this will be C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox. Under Macintosh OS X, this will be ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox. Under Linux, this will be ~/.mozilla/firefox/.

Open prefs.js with a text editor, and remove the line containing “update.lastUpdateDate” if it exists. Then start Firefox and turn off all software and extension update preferences (Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Software Update) – but leave “Allow web sites to install software” alone.

Other that that 0.9 has a number of nice new features; you can read a review at Mad Penguin if for some reason you still haven’t made the switch (yeah, I’m talking to you Karan…).

I haven’t posted in a bit so here’s a review of the week:

Monday – My second or third interview (depending on who you talk to) went well. Still haven’t heard anything though. I was told it could be a while before they decide.

Tuesday – Hooked up with Biff and Jake for a movie at Tinseltown. We saw the Riddick Chronicles and predictably, I didn’t much care for it.

Is this the best that Hollywood can come up with for a story line? I mean this was Rambo in space… “One man, against all odds, takes on an army of evil and wins!” *yawn*

Wednesday – Once again met with Biff and Jake to help Paul with his little photography project.

Oh, and Andrea thinks we’re geeks…

Just got a call about a possible contract. Have a potential full time job in the wings. Considering throwing myself off the balcony.

More later… or maybe not…
