(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[Elmar Stellnberger]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.1 (like Gecko)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060911 SUSE/1.5.0.7-1.2 Firefox/1.5.0.7

Firefox can not connect to the internet any more since Foxyproxy has corrupted my user data(~/.firefox). Uninstalling of Foxyproxy did not help.
Before this Foxyproxy was complaining whenever I tried to view a mms stream from iptv.orf.at with any of the plugins gxine-0.5.7-0.pm.0, xine-mozilla-plugin-0.2-051004.i586.rpm, kaffeine-mozilla-0.2-0.pm.1, xine-mozilla-plugin-0.2-051004. Video playback has been working perfectly when invoking xine and kaffeine directly but not with any of those plugins for Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install and configure foxyproxy
2.install different plugins for viewing mms-streams:
3.try to view mms stream from iptv.orf.at: foxyproxy reports errors
4.foxyproxy does always report errors on any page: nothing works
5.uninstall foxyproxy: still no more connection to the internet

Actual Results:  
Firefox is not able to connect to the internet at all when started from the user whose ~/.firefox folder is corrupted. Firefox is still working perfectly for any other user. 

Expected Results:  
If I remove a plugin I would expect it to be removed full and correctly!!

I do not post a .tar.bz2 of my ~/.firefox folder, because I have made firefox remember several passwords.

No fix, so assuming this was invalid since it looks like an extension issue.
