   Please clarify: TenFourFox or Firefox? If the former, which sites?

   If it's every site, that's definitely a pervasive bug that I can't reproduce (I'm typing in it now) and I would strongly suspect an add-on, though I didn't make any changes to JavaScript parsing for FPR4.

   I went to

   I can't reproduce anything like that here. If there is a specific URL that does it consistently, please post it.

   Does this happen with a clean profile? (See "How to reset your profile" at the lower right.)

   I have been away and was unable to continue this process until now, so today:

   - upgraded to the newest FireFox. Worked fine, then :
   - Went to Firefox site, clicked on FAQ link: Got 'Javascript Application. Error: missing format parameter' on a page that said 'Error obtaining wikidata'

   If I exit, that page and visit it again, I don't get the java script again, but do get the wiki data error page.

   So, I went to reset my profile. And her is where I think I am just not computer savvy enough to do this.

   I keep reset profile instructions open on my ipad.

   1) I can't find a Tools section anywhere on my disks. I give up and try looking for other stuff -
   3) I find Application Support in Library. Only Ten Four Fox folder is called Ten FourFox User Guide. It contains two folders - Profiles and profiles.ini
   4) In profiles.ini is tomocgjg.default
   5) In that are: cert8.db
   compatability.ini
   cookies.gqlite
   tag3.db
   permissions.sqlite
   places.sqlite
   prefs.js
   secmod.db
   seccion...ints.json
   times.jsm
   webappstore.sqlite

   - Are these the add ons? Either way. that is it. No idea now what to do or how to reset profile.

   Tools isn't a folder, it's a menu in TenFourFox (between Bookmarks and Window).
