Funny. You blame the problems on Mozilla, when you can barely follow
directions that Setheck gives you.

Setheck has spent a lot of time helping you. You at least owe him a letter
of 'thanks'.

OK, after entering past all that I get to the bottom

pete@pete-desktop:~$ firefox-3.5
*NOTICE* No previous firefox-3.5 profile found, we'll initialize a
