If you put an over/under or side-by-side screenshot of bad with good where people can see it then people are more likely to be able to help.
Unfortunately I'm only subscribed to "nomail" version of this mailing list. I read and post using Pan. Thus I do not see a way to put screenshots.
I was not with my words "put .. where people can see" suggesting you attempt to subject every subscriber's inbox with a copy of a screenshot. Those words mean put a web URL in a list mail so that subscribers interested in helping can open it. That means upload it to your personal web space, and if you don't have personal web space, use one of the many free services that permit temporary uploading of large files for the purpose of getting help in debugging problems such as yours.
If you try the .bz2 version of FF from the mozilla.org web site, do you see the same trouble?
I've not tried and I'm reluctant to do so.
The last thing I want from a distro is to maintain such an important application on my own. If I would be willing to do so I'd rather go with either Slackware or Arch.
No need for "maintaining...application...". Just extract the archive to any convenient location, run, report the results, and delete or not as and when you please. This is precisely what is expected of anyone interested in determining whether a particular problem is caused by the packager, or originates upstream. It's also how testers of alphas and early betas provide upstream needed feedback. Don't forget, you're using free software which wouldn't exist if none of its users were assisting Novell in locating and fixing bugs, same as *buntu and Canonical. -- " We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion."
