problems with firefox profiles under certain logins


in an attempt to disable the profile manager of firefox i made the (in hindsight) pretty stupid decision to delete the default profile name in my user (not root). now, regardless of how many times i re-install my 0.8 version of firefox (i hav mozilla 1.7 also) it will not let me run it under my own user. under root and other users it works fine, just not my own. the following error is displayed whether i run it through a shortcut or directly through the firefox executable in Konqueror (i use SuSe linux and KDE):

'Couldn't find the program 'firefox''

mozilla works fine and the default user is present when i run firefox through root or an alternative user. help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
