Firefox error on load.
Hi all. I've just updated my KDE to 3.3 using the SuSE 9.1 RPM's and also just installed the latest version of Firefox. However now when I load Firefox I get a Gecko window with the following inside it: title="&mainWindow.title;" -------------^ Running from the shell gives me the following error message: (QFA)Talkback error: Can't initialize. Does anyone know what this is, and also how to fix it? Thanks, Ged. .............. SuSE Linux 9.1

Define "latest". Where did you get it?

I have that and it's running fine. How did you install it? Did you install into a new directory, or did you overwrite an old version?

Assuming you installed firefox into an empty directory, the quick fix would be to simply delete $HOME/.mozilla/firefox. Odds are that that will get things running Or if you have lots of bookmarks and things, you could just rename it and let firefox reinitialise things, then you can reimport the bookmarks by copying the bookmarks.html file from the old directory to the new

I installed into /opt/firefox after removing my old version. I always put Firefox there and have never had any issues before.

I have just done that and it's working fine now. Can you quickly explain why so I can understand what happened. Thank for you help. Ged. -- .............. SuSE Linux 9.1

You had parameters or extensions remaining from the previous version of FireFox which did not work with the new version. By removing the $HOME/.mozilla/firefox directory, you removed the inconsistant parameters and, wollah, Houston - we have lift off. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

If you are getting nightly builds, then sometimes they don't work.
