RE: [BMSYNC-USERS] Syncing Firefox 0.9.3

[Rich <sta...@cf...>]

OK - thanks the the reply!  Unfortunately I tried deleting the phoenix
folder in documents & settings & still no go - the syncit client still isn't
communicating with firefox & there is no firefox.xml :(

I've searched my computer for any other files called phoenix, but no go :(

Thanks for any more help - I guess this is what you get for playing with
beta internet browsers with no uninstaller (firefox 0.8) :)
