Topic: Install of FireGPG messed up formatting in Firefox

I installed FireGPG and had it point to the right location for GPG.  These effects were noticed:

1. Everytime I clicked on a link that would have opened another window at least two black windows opened and closed quickly.  Very annoying.
2. Most of the time the new window would not open.  If I clicked Open in New Tab it would work.
3. Formatting of most pages is screwed up.  I'm not a web geek but it may be due to CSS being disabled somehow.

I uninstalled FireGPG. 

Now problem 3 is still there.  I want to get firefox back to where it was pre-FireGPG before I start to entertain thoughts about re-installing it.

Re: Install of FireGPG messed up formatting in Firefox

Problem 3 did not show up with a different user/profile.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, completely clean and then copied all the files from my previous profile into the new profile.  It works now.  I'm afraid I won't be of much assistance in troubleshooting - I don't want to install FireGPG for awhile.

I was using the latest update of Firefox 1.5.  The extensions I am using are: Adblock, Firbug, Flashblock, Paste and Go, Prefbar, ReloadEvery, Aothink SWF CAtcher, Talkback and Torbutton.

Windows XP SP2 updated about a month ago. 

Problem 3 was not a CSS problem.  The browser would not act on some formatting code, such as:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><style><!--div.Section1    {page:Section1;}span.GramE    {}span.SpellE    {}.style1 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif}--></style><meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="canvas 011, default"></head><body background="../../_themes/canvas/cnvbkgnd.jpg" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#0066CC" vlink="#006666" alink="#996699"><!--mstheme--><font face="Arial, Arial, Helvetica"></font>

In particular the canvas background on pages did not show.  On other pages the color of the font was wrong.  This could be an impossible to reproduce problem, possibly unrelated to FireGPG.  Since others haven't reported it I would ignore this for now.

Sorry I did not install Console2 until after I re-installed Firefox.

Thanks.
