Yeah, right. People *never* foul up their Linux boxes by installing software incorrectly <roll eyes>.
Not if they use the standard suse installation method which is rpm (and of course suse rpm's). Now if they want to use tar and "make install" that's another issue. In the OP's case simply renaming or deleting ./mozilla/firefox might have fixed the problem whereas re-installing would not remove faulty settings in ./mozilla/firefox which remain until removed and/or fixed. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
