which links back to my question a few weeks ago, asking where the setup files & e-mails of Thundervird are stored. I can't find them!

Profile Folder

Firefox stores your user data in one of the following locations:

Windows 2000, XP Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
Windows NT WINNT\Profiles\<UserName>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
Windows 98, ME Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
Mac OS X ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox
Linux and Unix systems ~/.mozilla/firefox

the Firefox community made history today by being the first ever open-source community to take out a full 2-page ad in one of the world's largest newspapers (New York Times), all paid for by the community members' donations

ref my problem with displaying images, i think i might be missing a plugin or summat (can't see an actual solution in Mozilla Support Forums).
If you type about:plugins instead of a URL it gives you all the details on any plugins you have installed, but i can'y see an on mine than relate to images (JPEGS etc), can someone have a look see if they have any for me?
