I've been watching the happenings on the message boards recently with regards to SuSE 9.3. It seems like it's more bleeding edge and unstable than usual. And now I get a Firefox YOU update where my bookmarks and profile are broken. I can still get to my bookmarks, but I have to select "Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks" then my bookmarks appear after having disappeared. They disappear next time I start Firefox back up. On top of that it doesn't properly recognize my profile, i.e. Firefox looks different than it should. Different X to close down tabs, etc.
What is going on with Novell quality control? I'm a little concerned. In the short term I want Firefox to work again. In the long term I want to know that YOU isn't going to thrash my desktop for daily use. I can get that with Fedora if I want.

I haven't had these same issues. I don't know what to tell you.

With regards to Firefox specifically, though, did you upgrade recently via YOU? What version of SuSE are you running. I'm running 9.2 and the latest YOU upgrade is horribly broken. I fixed it by uninstalling and rolling back to a previous patch in the place where patches are kept, but it's kind of silly. I shouldn't have to do that. Novell should be testing patches before releasing them. That's my point. If they're not going to bother testing them, why shouldn't I use Fedora or something else bleeding edge? Preston
