Are you running it from the disk image? If so, don't. Copy it to your hard drive and run it from there.

No, I'm not running it from a disk image. This actually started with version .2 then I downloaded .21. Hoping it would fix itself. But it didn't.

the prefs are in your home, in a folder called .mozilla, hence (because of the leading dot) it is invisible

. Us Filebuddy or TinkerTool or some other utility to get to them

I finally got Chimera working after booting into 0S 9 and using Sherlock to delete the .mozilla folder. Once I trashed it and restarted everything was super.

I might be totally off here, but I was at the Chimera website recently and thought I remember reading something about pref types being changed between the initial 0.2 release and the never versions. That might have been causing the trouble. Glad it's working for you now though, Chimera is really great
