I asked because firefox under windows or other linuxes (debian) runs fine, and I don't know how they compiled it. Actually, it's my only option to work with my bank, since firefox 0.8 or so. Konqueror is not always usable for this. And of course, only option for gmail. > You could try updating to the newest NSS/NSPR implementation > that has some bug fixes.
