Thanks Doug and Randall. Both tips did the trick. On my 9.1 box with Firefox 
installed as an RPM, the list showed Firefox already. On my 8.2 box with 
Firefox installed from source 9not RPM) I had to add it. In both cases this 
did the trick. Many thanks.

To the original poster, sorry for jumping in on your Gnome related post. I had 
the same problem as you, only with KDE instead of Gnome.

Best...
