Mo_D I was not aware of that capability. If you say it works it must work. :D

I was always scared of screwing something up in Terminal, so I was always wary of the prescribed method.

I can't guarantee my method, but I have had no problems in the few months, or maybe a year, I have been using it. It's not very well documented by Mozilla, if at all, which is not uncommon for Mac stuff. I just figured it out by playing around with it. I wish you would try it and let me know if you see any problem.

Going out to dinner with my wife; will try it out tomorrow assuming I remember.

Being an old UNIX person I have no issues with the terminal. Besides, I have a shadow SSD with a delay since I am paranoid. Recovery is only a click away.

Paranoid is good. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you.

Mo_D, my wife is running late so I did a quick check of your method and all looks good.

Mo_D, your method also looks good on SeaMonkey.

Great. Went to our favorite Friday place. Split a bottle of wine plus crab-cake appetizers followed by New Zealand red deer.
