Dear all, after performing a normal ssh login on the machine I am currently working on (say,A) from another computer (say B, both using SUSE 9.0), I have encountered troubles with mozilla on machine A: my login profile has been lost, now I have created another mozilla profile named luca that has been configured under directory /home/luca/.mozilla/luca-1, and I can see another folder named luca. I have tried to change settings but quite unsuccessfully, my profiles remains the new, even if I try to play with mv/cp commands in order to replace the new directory luca-1 with the former luca(nothing has been permantly deleted), but no effect has been generated. So, do you have any suggestion in order to recover the old profile??? Thanks LM

Hmmm... maybe this could sound stupid but... are you sure that you are logged into computer-A, either local or remotely, where your original Mozilla-profile was? Are you using NIS? Are you using the roaming profile settings? HTH, Martin

use -p switch when starting so you can get the profile manager. mozilla -p
No way, the name is correct, but I can see only one profile named "luca", and no other profiles are provided. This is the real problem, that they are basically named in the same way. L

In English, there are two words, "losing" and "loosing". Many Americans and British misappropriate these words. I would certainly not blame anyone whose native language and schooling is not in the English language. However: this lesson. "Loosing" means to set loose, or in other words, to set free. Loosing the dogs of war, for instance. "Losing", which is the word you wanted, means to no longer have access to, or to have dropped along the way. They are pronounced almost the same, except a hard "s" in loosing, and a "z" sound in losing. Please don't flame me for this; I think it is a lesson everyone who does not know should learn.
