Did you try to remove that file from the Firefox Profile Folder

yes I did put in a search on my computer and deleted the file but I think it is a file that is updated every time firefox opens having looked at the error console I think it is something to do with the yahoo toolbar and the error message came up again but everything still works ok so i just close the message, thanks for your reply.
