i recently upgraded to newest version of firefox. i run mac osx 10.5.8 on a g5 ppc.

i did a computer cleanup and moved a bunch of fonts around making sure to have left system fonts alone.

now everytime i run firefox a popup window will say something like "firefox wants permission to view font Times Roman etc. from hard drive lacie" and it repeats 2 or 3 times with different font names.

i've checked and the fonts firefox is asking about are on another harddrive used for backup and not the HD the system software is on. anyone have a clue???

thanks in advance!! -tim.
