As seen in a previous tip, you can delete corrupted .plist files in order to fix them. Anyway, you can also check out plist files by using the plutil command:
1) open Terminal (Application ->Utilities -> Terminal.app)
2) type cd ~/Library/Preferences
3) type plutil org.mozilla.firefox.plist (just as an example)
plutil will return 'ok' or some kind of error depending on whether the plist is correct or not. You can also check out all plist files. To achieve that, just type:
plutil *.plist
the side effect is that you will be flooded with several ok responses so you will miss errors. The solution is the -s flag in order to see only detected errors:
plutil -s *.plist
Go back
