Hi Anders,
First of all, "xhost +localhost" doesn't work in suse 9.1, since X doesn't use tcp by default
... ok, I didn't know that. I still am happy with 9.0. :-)
Second, from a security standpoint, "xhost +" and "xhost +local:" do equivalent damage
... well, not quite. If this is your PC connected to the internet then the difference is significant.
Third, even that doesn't work at all. A bug in (I think) gtk means that if authentication is turned on at all in X, firefox (and the rest of the mozilla series) will fail (if and only if it is the first time you run it, the problem is with the 'import settings' dialog that gets shown the first time you run it). sux fails because of this, sadly
... if this is true then there's only one alternative: Download it, disconnect from the net, install it and then reconnect to the net. :-) -- cul8er Paul paul.foerster@gmx.net
