Rather than running firefox-bin directly, isn't there a "firefox" wrapper startup script in the /opt/MozillaFirefox/bin directory? It sets up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment where shared libraries are to be searched. libmozjs.so should be in your /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib directory. -Ti -- Ti Kan http://www.amb.org/ti Vorsprung durch Technik

Don't run that, just run 'firefox' (/usr/bin/firefox if you want the full path)

No, the problem is that you need to have an environment set up to run firefox, or any mozilla derivative. /usr/bin/firefox is a script that does that for you and then launches the browser

Hmm, that doesn't work either. I issue the command and nothing happens. I tried launching it with various options.

I have 9.2, so I got my rpm here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/firefox/1.0/9.2-i386 But ... I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it, and now it works.

Just out of curiosity, did you run YOU the 2nd time, or the first time?

This error occurs when you have no profile set up yet. I've noticed that Firefox doesn't handle this gracefully yet. You should have a ~/.mozilla/firefox directory, with only a profiles.ini and another file. You'll need to create a directory in there. I usually just create a directory named 'default' and then edit the 'profiles.ini' file to include the following: [Profile0] Name=Default IsRelative=1 Path=default Default=1 When you run it with this, it will put all the needed files in the profile directory ('~/.mozilla/firefox/default' in this case) and then run correctly. I have to do this with Thunderbird too. I don't know why Firefox/T-Bird for Linux don't fully create the user directory structure when running for the first time. I've never gotten the wizard to create a new profile in the Linux version of Firefox and have had spotty results with Thunderbird. Also, I'm not sure why it throws that error when it can't find a profile to start with.

that actually fails for me too. I can run it with no parameters at all though

But you're not using purely kde. You're using firefox, and firefox is a gtk based application that's getting closer and closer ties to gnome every day
