I may be wrong, but I think that's what will be accomplished with deleting the Firefox folder only in a "nuke from orbit" kind of way.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Nope -- the profiles live in a different place entirely (presumably so that you can keep your settings when you upgrade).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Let's say you have two computers, and each computer can support two VGA monitors. Does there exist a KVA switch that can essentially handle four VGA inputs and select between them to output to two VGA monitors? i.e. the KVM switch would let you pick one of two computers, and then display both VGA outputs of the selected comptur to two VGA monitors?
In a semi-related question, is it worth the extra $ to buy a digital LCD monitor, as opposed to getting an analog VGA LCD montor (if all computers involved can output both digital and analog)? I think it is, but my bosses think not.

I think it's so you can have multiple profiles for multiple users on the same computer. (At least that's how it works in Linux and OS X.)

tommyrot, I'll get you halfway there [link]
Not sure about the dual monitor business after that.
Edit: I think I'm misunderstanding your desired setup... nebbermind.
Edit2: Here is what you're looking for, methinks.

Oh, I should have tried Froogle in the first place. If I Froogle "kvm dual monitors" I find a bunch of stuff....

Our wings are not tired
I've used analog and digital connections to LCD monitors and the DVI connection does make a difference. With an analog connection you can get odd moire patterns in the display and I've also noted jitter on more than a few of my 15" LCD's that have analog VGA connections (I've got around 6 of them from different manufacturers). The DVI connected ones have experienced none of these problems. I've got two 17" DVI's and two Apple 20" Cinema DVI displays.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Which reminds me. I've upgraded my old 7600 g3/300 to a Umax s900 (9600 Mac) with a g3/333. (Thanks ND!)
The problem is I have no video card that is compatable with OSX. Every single card I have (okay three) is okay in os9, but will not boot (using XpostFacto) to OSX.
It worked fine with the 7600's old built-in video, but now? nada. I used all settings in XPF, too.
Anyway, I need a cheap or used video card that will work in this until I can afford an upgrade.
If anyone has an old Mac PCI video card they would like to donate/sell, let me know at dcjensen at gmail dot com. I don't want to invest much more in this Machine, as I hope to buy something modern within the year. (Crossed fingers).
Anyway, lets see what you got, Buffistas! heh.
