Nor did I.

Yup.

Nope. I didn't check the bookmarks, but the TrueType AA fonts weren't
there.

I appreciate the compliment, but I'm as prone to PEBCAK as anyone else.
If anything, the mistakes I make are more inscrutable than Joe Average.
The matter is aggravated by my insistence on tweaking everything in
sight - "stock" does not apply to much of my system. All that notwithstanding,
I "fixed" the font problem with some (in)judicious edits to 
$MOZILLA_HOME/default/pref/unix.js.
