This problem still exists in the suse version, if you run it for the first time. The problem is when firefox tries to open the "import settings" window. If you already have the config files from a previous installation you don't see it
Oh, odd. I just installed 0.9.1 yesterday using nothing but 'sudo sux -'.
This isn't about having to run it as root, this is when you run it for the first time as a user. Did you already have an old installation? I installed 0.9 on a system where I already had 0.8 and everything worked perfectly. Then I cleared out everything, $HOME/.mozilla, $HOME/.firefox and all, and tried again, and then I got the error everyone else is seeing It seems to be very timing sensitive. I said the only way around it is to turn of authentication, but that's not true. When I experimented, I found that the error also went away when I changed the hash-bang in run-mozilla.sh from /bin/sh to /bin/sh -x. That slight change in timing was enough.
