kwallet doesn't ask. My firefox asks though and then uses browser sync to send it to Google's server. Should Kwallet ask?
Will try out desert wind's suggestion though.
Techyourfuture: I did try that. It gave some page segmentation error or something. I will need to login to linux. Should be able to do that in half an hour or so (I just bought a transcend 1 gb pen drive. Am checking it out now.
)

Logged into linux suse 10.1 again.
trying firefox from the terminal, i get a segmentation fault.
here ---
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~> firefox
/usr/bin/firefox: line 159: 4370 Segmentation fault $AOSS $MOZ_PROGRAM $@
Just found out that the help centre doesn't work as well. I don't know the terminal command for that though, so couldn't check it for errors.
ok, trying desertwind's suggestion ---
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~> rm -rf /home/jsemmanuel/.mozilla/firefox
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~> firefox
/usr/bin/firefox: line 159: 4445 Segmentation fault $AOSS $MOZ_PROGRAM $@
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~>

checked if the rm works and found that it does. The entire directory is empty.
Firefox, on being invoked from the command line again, seems to create the profile (??) directories etc and then seems to crash.
here is the terminal output
--
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~> rm -rf /home/username/.mozilla/firefox
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~> rm -rf /home/jsemmanuel/.mozilla/firefox
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~> firefox
/usr/bin/firefox: line 159: 4445 Segmentation fault $AOSS $MOZ_PROGRAM $@
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~>

on further investigation this is what i get.
--
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~/.mozilla/firefox> ls
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~/.mozilla/firefox> firefox
/usr/bin/firefox: line 159: 4557 Segmentation fault $AOSS $MOZ_PROGRAM $@
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~/.mozilla/firefox> ls
k4wv7vvl.default profiles.ini
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~/.mozilla/firefox> rm -r *.*
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~/.mozilla/firefox> ls
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~/.mozilla/firefox> firefox
/usr/bin/firefox: line 159: 4579 Segmentation fault $AOSS $MOZ_PROGRAM $@
jsemmanuel@bcidelhi:~/.mozilla/firefox> ls
jmzx6lm2.default profiles.ini
firefox crashes after creating the profiles, doesn't it. That is what I am able to figure out. What do i do now?
