Well, you rediscovered the same old way to slow thing down. :-)

Repair always requires understanding what specifically is broken.
The obvious stone knives and bearskins solution is to restore the profile
from a backup and start merging in the changes since the last backup. You
do have a recent backup, don't you?
I don't do AWOLs. Sorta like Windows. How are the links not clickable?
Do they push the mouse pointer off to the side or do they just not result
in the page loading.
Do these links work with a fresh test profile work? You do have a fresh
test profile, don't you?

All of this is possible. I do it all the time as do thousands of others,
maybe more. It requires being willing to invest the time to understand
enough of the internals to know where to look and not placing artifical
limits on your willingness to learn. The profile data is mostly text, so
being able to read text files is sufficient for getting started.

Generally, this is a bad idea, unless you back up before doing this.

This is a tradeoff. As with all software, I just use what works.
