I'd first zypper in MozillaFirefox-6.0-2.1, then remove XUL.mfasl and XPC.mfasl from your Firefox profile directory, then try again. Deleting *.mfasl is always the first thing I try if any Mozilla won't start after updating anything. Those files are there solely to speed startup, but subject to corruption resulting from version changes.

Hi, there seems to be a problem with the KDE related patches. I guess you are using KDE? In this case it's bug 713320 and I'll likely fix it tomorrow. Unfortunately there is no workaround besides rolling back to version 6. To get this you need to tell Yast or zypper to install version 6 explicitely or disable mozilla:beta for a moment and reinstall. Wolfgang Am 20.08.2011 20:50, schrieb Peter Nikolic:
