K-Meleon will not open after editing toolbar config

I've done this many times before with no problem.
But this time....after editing the toolbar (blocking some buttons) K-Meleon will not re-open.
When I try to open it the CPU load goes to max and stays there until I terminate K-Meleon.
If I re-install all is well.
Until I edit the toolbar.....
Any clues?
(I have profile in Program File)
Thanks,
Mark

Not sure I am following...so, should I have had # before the lines: %if plugin macros, and }, and %endif--?
Mark
One more question....I noted in my Profiles folder I have a default and a default-1 folder--is that correct? The default-1 contains my usual profile folder but the default folder also contains a Cache and Cache.Trash folder--which remain full even after I 'clear cache' via K-Meleon. I don't remember this behaviour before....?
Thanks--
And remember that as my friend guenter said: "Whole bars are better deactivated via > View > Toolbars..."
About your Profile, this can be that K-Meleon tried to generate a new profile when you had the toolbars.cfg problem. When K-Meleon can't start with current profile it try to generate a new profile.

Many thanks everyone--problem solved.
From my minimalist one bar browser (and only half knowing what I am doing) I was unaware 'Mail' was a toolbar--and that I could accomplish that via the View > Toolbars > Mail....etc. Was focused on editing via config.
I removed the (extra) Profiles > Default file with no (so far) ill effects.
One other 'oddity' I encountered is that Tools > Privacy > Clear Data > Clear All, does not function as before 1.5. I must use the specific "Clear Cache" (or "Clear History") to clear them.

IMHO an improvement - but means ppl that use old skin got one more item to alter.
p.s. When a crash/error/bug occurs after editing a toolbar I much recommend a fresh start. For myself I find that it easiest after an error during skin editing to start with a fresh toolbars.cfg. It is much harder to find & search the bug.
Forum: thx to jujuland & desgas2 had sufficient competence to solve the bug without a fresh start
