for no apparent reason, web browser no longer works for me, it will appear to launch then quit. I installed IceCat to temporarily use the Net and find out what went wrong...

is it possible to do sudo aptitude reinstall abrowser? Maybe that will fix the problem.

I don't think reinstalling will fix the problem. There are several
things you could try.

Try temporary moving your “/home/NAME/.mozilla” directory to some other
place. In this directory are all your browser settings, history,
bookmarks, plugins, scripts and other stuff. You may delete it if you
don't care about those. If the directory was removed or moved, Abrowser
will create a new directory when you start it.

Try running abrowser from the terminal to see if it complains about
something.

Try running “abrowser -safe-mode” from the terminal.

safe mode saved the day and restored the former glory.
