Hi, I have noticed for awhile that links at certain web sites do not work -- my bank, ebay posting, and others. This has been at least since 9.05 and probably 9.04. I click on the link, nothing happens, or perhaps the page is reloaded. Sometimes a reload will bring me to the proper link, sometimes not.
According to certain posts within this group, if psm is not installed, behaviour such as this can occur. However, I read here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/psm/ that the psm is integrated and built into all current mozilla builds. Certainly, as this location: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/psm/buildpsm.html indicates, since I have the following files (in MOZ_FIVE_HOME): ./libnssckbi.so ./components/libpipnss.so ./components/libpippki.so ./chrome/pippki.jar ./chrome/pipnss.jar it would appear, that yes, I have the psm. However the previous link suggests I can test the psm to find out its version, etc at the "browser spy": http://gemal.dk/browserspy/psm.html If I read it right, I am told I have version 2.2 (or is that on the browserspy), but that the personal security manager is not loaded or object not supported. Thinking, perhaps, there is some incompatibility with the X86 Talkback enabled version I downloaded to my RH 7.1 w/2.4.14 kernel, I decided to build my own. So, about 3 hours later over my 28.8 modem, I build it. Following instructions, I put ac_add_options --enable-crypto in my options, (along with disabling the debugs, and pedantic). Yup, I get the files above that indicate successful psm integration. But no, I get the same behaviour (though is is cool to build a program requiring ~1.5 GB before I turned off DEBUG). Is there any special I have to do to enable psm that is probably absurdly obvious even though I've looked for quite awhile to find the answer. Or, is this a bug despite the fact that all the posts I can find indicate that psm not installed is the general solution to this. Surely I don't have to install the RedHat rpm's. I much prefer to install my software where I like it, building it myself where at all possible. The one bright side is that I now have my own mozilla build. Chris
