Also including the folder for it in Application Support? That's an  
odd problem, and especially on 6 separate Macs. Are they all  
identical in terms of the installed system, having been ghosted from  
one image, for instance? Did they all act up at once, and when  
exactly did it begin with each of them? Was it a Firefox 2 -> 3  
upgrade issue?
