Hello I had problems also to get firefox running, maybe it will help: first of all, firefox is very sensitive to optimization options and I had to keep conservative flags in make.conf (never had a crash during compilation but impossible to launch later) second, there is a problem of ownership: the first time you launch it, it creates a directory in home directory, but since the directory owner is root you don't have read-write access and can't launch as user. Try to sudo the first launch to see if it works, if it does chmod rw the home/.firefox directory to user (not sure about the name of directory, I'm not on my machine now). Maybe the directory is created under /root, you must move it to home and chmod it. It worked for me, hope it helps. Fred
