"If you're going to install the new firefox-0.9 update, there's something important you should know. You MUST run firefox as root before running it as any other user. The best way to do this is to su - to root or log in as root (i.e. do not su -m to root). After becoming root, simply run ``firefox''. You can then quit the browser, then run it as any other user. If you do not run firefox as root first, the browser window will not appear. This is a known issue with 0.9. See the Known Issues list at: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/0.9.html (it's the first one)" Michael Clark Nemschoff Chairs Inc mclark at nemschoff dot com CompTIA A+, Network+, Server+, MCP Voice: (920) 457 7726 x294 Fax: (920) 453 6594 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 11:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: firefox not launching since upgrade to 0.9_1 hello all, problems since portupgrading firefox. i deleted all .mozilla .phoenix directories from $HOME. > uname -a FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE Thu May 27 13:51:30 EDT 2004 i386 > pkg_info | grep -i fire firefox-0.9_1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla # firefox <<-- we no longer need to launch 1st time as root, but...
