(solved..no biggie l7l) i think i screwed up
 
i installed firefox beta from their site and then removed it, and today while opening filebox i saw /home/user/.mozilla ,,so i thought its remmants of firefox and i deleted the whole folder but not all folder deleted and gave me error,,so i manually deleted some subfolders without errors and i saw within mozilla folder a subfolder called microb and nokia maps..deleted nokia maps but also about 30% are deleted and gave me error
now in microb it didn't remember my account when i log in here, and nokia maps is resetted..are there any other damages ? cause i can't remember what was the other subfolders name

Microb will start with fresh profile inside .mozilla/ folder, if you remove the folder. That is: You have enter the information inside the folder for browsing the web again and save login info and all.
You are not screwed up, but you lost some valuable data.
A common workaround before deleting something,might be to make a backup with
Code:

mv youruselessfolder youruselessfolder_backup
and wait some time to evaluate the damage.

im not worried about browser's data such as passwords or remembering it but im afraid there is much more damages than that,,and why is nokia maps folder inside mozilla folder ?

Ovi maps uses a plugin with microb to display everything, it could have been something to do with that

This line comes from an error in the postinstall script of
account-plugin-salut. The post number 4 in the thread
I linked gives you the instruction to correct this post-installation
script.

i edited it like post no.4 but it didn't work out..im talking about why hildon-desktop appears on my upgrade list ?

Re: Major help needed..i think i screwed up
 
Do you try to upgrade with testing-extra and devel-extra repos enabled?
You should not forcefully upgrade packages that are held back, because these may break other application in the long run.
To remember those changes in a few minutes/hours/days would be pure luck.
