I've seen the same error message at the first time starting 0.9. Do a 'xhost +' (yeah, I know, unsafe, blahblah) en start Firefox. It works. No need to delete your old directory. After this it works perfectly without the 'xhost' solution. So it seems a one time problem. Enjoy Firefox. It rrrrreally rocks! Regards Harry

Always my first step.
2. Delete the new 0.9 directory
Unclear on that one; you mean you unpack the tar.gz file again? How can you run it if you delete it?
3. Delete the old firefox's settings directory (e.g./home/username/.phoenix/)
Always with a new version.
4. Delete the new firefox's settings directory (e.g. /home/username/.mozilla/firefox/)
Didn't know about that one. Thanks.
5. Run firefox once as root.
It won't work. The same basic error message pops up.
Thanks for responding. But I guess I'll stick to good-old Konqui for browsing for the time being.

I can confirm that I had the same problem (although I'd installed within my home directory) and that using 'xhost +' solved it. Only needs to be run like this once. And I've no idea why this happens :-( John -- John Pettigrew Headstrong Games john@headstrong-games.co.uk Fun : Strategy : Price http://www.headstrong-games.co.uk/ Board games that won't break the bank Knossos: escape the ever-changing labyrinth before the Minotaur catches you!
