[CLUE-Talk] Ximian busted my browser...

[Grant Johnson]

Occasionally, Netscape/Mozilla will get a nasty file in the cache that 
will spaz things.  Usually it is a corrupted GIF.  Delete everything 
under cache (make sure that it is not running first) and then try it. 
 On the older versions, there are a bunch of subdirectories with 2 
character names, but on the newer stuff, there is just one big directory 
again.  Check in .netscape, .mozilla, etc.  I have to use Netscape 6.2 
for getting to my work email because of some added stuff for RSA token 
based security, but my cache is still in 
~/.mozilla/default/hphmd4lc.slt/Cache so it still shows the Mozilla 
engine is behind it.

If you are a big chicken, you can make a directory called oldcache or 
something, and just move all of the files there.
