After my SUSE 10.3 supplied Firefox began acting up and finally refused

click on any sound on a site, I hear nothing. I am operating under KDE.
The volume on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 8600) is set all the way up. KMIX
is on. I had no trouble with this under 10.2.
What do I do to fix this?
Hi Dennis,
If you're having problems with an openSUSE installation, the last thing you
want to do is throw software into the mix that hasn't been specifically
packaged for installation in the distribution. Doing so just complicates
matters and defeats the rationale for running an 'rpm' based system...
unless, of course, you're seasoned and knowledgable enough to install it in
such a way that it doesn't affect or conflict with other packages.
In my experience, if you stick with the 'stock' and subsequently released
openSUSE update packages, including those from alternate packagers
like 'guru' and 'packman', you are much less likely to experience problems
with mainstream software like Firefox.
Also, by taking this more conservative approach, in the event you *do*
experience problems, the chances are greater that others here who are
similarly affected can work with or advise you on how to proceed.
My recommendation would be to uninstall the generic Firefox, reinstall the
openSUSE package and then try to work through the original problem with
others here on the list.
regards,
Carl
Dear Carl:
When I worked under 10.2, I had no problem using the Mozilla-made
Firefox. Sound problems there were none. Is it possible that the
problem lies with Java?
