xpti.dat is the Mozilla/Firefox/thunderbird component registry file - it
keeps a record of what bits are installed/configured/used.

Unfortunately it doesn't get updated automatically :unless: it doesn't
exist. So by deleting it you are forcing it to be recreated as an uptodate
version.

To find where it's hidden from your home directory try:

find . -name xpti.dat

There may be several versions, you can delete them all (but make a copy first).

regards,

Colin
