you should be able to right click on them and reset it, then restart
the browser, and they should be gone.

Anyways, the file you need is prefs.js and you can find it in the FF
profile. To locate the FF profile you can read this:
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit#profile

but if you're using windows, then you must read this first:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/...iddenfiles.mspx
