The only "chrome" folders I have now (after that
re-install), are here:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome
C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox\defaults\profile\chrome
C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\Application 
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ijwk3985.default\chrome
I might have overlooked the chrome folder in this last path
now that Hugh 
pointed it out to me.

I DO notice that, following Hugh's lead, in C::\Documents
and 
Settings\Owner\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profile, there is no 
file/folder called \ky2x3ez2.default. There IS one folder
named, 
"ijwk3985.default" but within it, there is NO
file named "ky2x3ez2" (I'm 
using Firefox 1.5.0.3) ... funny, while typing this
response, it 
automatically upgraded to 1.5.0.6.

Very strange but a general "Firefix" Search
brings me to all the Firefox 
folders except the one in: C:\Documents and 
Settings\Compaq_Owner\Application Data\Mozilla (where
there IS a folder 
called Firefox; (being the only user of this computer, I
move whatever I can 
from "all users" to "compaq_owner). Why
that Firefix doesn't show up in a 
general search might be another question for another time


PS: Thanks for the "Options, Content tab" lead,
Clint. It enables me to set 
the right fonts size for each site and each window on each
site. Seems to 
remember the settings so that might be the answer ... so
far. --- Harold
