I downloaded the new Mozilla Firefox browser today, unpacked it into /usr/local, and when I tried to start it, I got this error message:

I'm using SuSE 9.1 on an AMD Athlon 64 system. In the SuSE Admin manual it says you may sometimes have to prefix "linux32" in front of the command for a 32 bit app to make it run, but I did that to no effect.
Someone in another thread about Thunderbird said he had the new Firefox 0.9 running on his system, so it can't be a problem with the new build. Anyone have any idea about this? Thanks for any pointers.
I had same problem. What I did (right or wrong) was to first start with root access so that certain initial files could be created. I got the same message, so I typed [xhost +] to turn off access control run firefox then [xhost -] to turn access control back on. Then it stays working after that. Now, If I could get the themes to work, and single window, I'd be happy... B-)
