[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1636985, member: 131855"] A .plist file holds basic information about how a program is configured. When you change the settings in a program it's generally stored in a plist file. Plist files are stored inside your user folder in a folder called preferences. In OS X 10.7 and higher that library folder is hidden.You have to [URL="http://www.mactrast.com/2013/10/show-user-library-directory-os-x-mavericks/"]make the folder visible[/URL] before you can do anything. Once that's done look for a Preferences folder. The Firefox info you need will be in there. Move the Firefox plist somewhere else like the Desktop. When you re-launch Firefox it will create a new file. This should clear any problems due to a corrupted file. [/QUOTE]
