Hey guys I messed up my box again. Mozilla works fine but when I open galeon it will open up to my home page then it keeps opening tab after tab after tab. Last time it opened 96 tabs of my home page before I could log out. The only way I can get it to stop is to log out of gnome...

Here's what I tried so far :
1) I deleted everything in my home directory > this didn't help
2) I unmerged and emerged galeon > this didnt help
3) I erased everything from root home directory > I think this might have made it worse
4) I unmerged galeon, mozilla, gnome , depclean, then remerged them all again > this didnt help

This leaves me to believe that somewhere I messed up a configuration file and it is screwing up galeon. But I cant find out which file it is!!

I think I should just give up on galeon so I am using opera now, but I wish someone could help me fix this because galeon was cool.

:?:

someone please suggest something for me to try!! thanks

- delete /usr/lib/mozilla/components/compteg.dat
- DON'T browse when you are root. Otherwise you will come in the same issue.

Does anyone know exactly why it does this?

you can still browse as root if you remove write permissions to the components folder after deleting the compreg.dat file.
