[Clippings] Minor problem inserting with Clippings 2.0.1

Wed Aug 9 10:04:42 EDT 2006

If disabling all your extensions had no effect, then uninstalling them
probably won't help either. There is a problem with either your
Firefox user profile, or with your Firefox installation on your
computer.

Try uninstalling Firefox, ensuring that the program folder is deleted,
then reinstall; as long as your Firefox user profile folder isn't
stored under "C:\Program Files" (and why would it?) your Firefox user
profile shouldn't be affected. If that doesn't help, then try backing
your Firefox profile, delete your profile and then start over.
