When you use Windows System Restore to roll back past an update of Firefox, it restores the old executable but leaves zip files alone. Unfortunately this causes Firefox to crash because the zip file no longer matches the executable. By using the name omni.ja this tricks System Restore into restoring the file and Firefox will still work. -- Warning: May contain traces of nuts.
