Just for grins and giggles Steven; Open a terminal, become su and type urpmi mozilla <enter> or urpmi galeon <enter> If (as I suspect) Galeon or Mozilla either aren't installed, or are installed in an unexpected directory location, something other than "Everything already installed" should happen. If not there's definitely weirdness happening there and it needs to be found. Maybe by urpme mozilla and reinstalling it. Installs do go "wonky" on occasion after all, at times for no readily explainable reason. My Galeon and Mozilla are both in /usr/lib; but since this box is a (mostly) 'cooked' install, (installed fresh as beta1 9.1 and upgraded since to Bamboo/current cooker) I have a mozilla and a mozilla1.3 directory. The mozilla directory only contains a plugins sub directory though. Galeon won't work at all without Mozilla BTW. The mozilla core is the foundation used to run the Galeon UI overlay.
