[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1555560, member: 54417"] Read my post number 6 again mate, last but one sentence. If you drag an app. from the application folder to the trash ( like firefox ) then a plist file will be left behind, which is very small and causes no issues, unless there is a piece of code accessing that plist file, which is exactly what happens when you install Firefox again. ( Then Firefox will access that plist file that was left behind from your previous uninstall ) Hope this makes sense. Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
