Hi,
Using openSUSE 10.3 32bit.
I've got 2 problems: 1. Since this morning when I start firefox 2.0.0.8, it closes immediately and gives the following error: /usr/bin/firefox: line 208: 4355 Segmentation fault $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@" I uninstalled ATI fglrx rpm's, then firefox started normally. I closed firefox, and the 2nd time I started firefox I got again the above message.
fglrx (or not) has nothing to do with firefox working or not. Firefox just needs a local (or remote) working X where it can display (or not). To check, you could uninstall and reinstall firefox. Alternatively, I would download the firefox tarball from mozilla, extract the tarball and move it to /opt. Then try /opt/firefox/firefox and see what happens. Furthermore I would move ~/.mozilla away, to ~/.mozilla.org and see what happens. or you try to start firefox in safe mode "firefox -safe-mode"
2. konqueror 3.5.7. works, but every link I click, I get the message (e.g.): Open 'http://www.google....oogle+zoeken&meta='? Type: HTML Document ,with three options: Save as...; Open with 'firefox'; Cancel; Clicking every link with my scrollwheel opens a new konqueror window and displays the new page.
very strange things.....
Does anybody know a solution?
Thanks, André

Does anybody know a solution? for checking whether this is "standard" on your install, you could either configure another, not yet existing user and see whether she experiences the same things, or you could temporarily .kde/ to something
Eberhard Roloff wrote: like .kde.org/, restart kde and see what your konqui does. In all honesty, I never experienced things like this in more than three years of KDE and firefox. So if anything else fails, you might try it the "microsoft way" and do a new install from scatch. If you do not like that, some space on your hardisk permitted, you could try to install a full suse into one directory via "install into a directory" (or similar) with Yast/Software Management. After that you can chroot into that directory and start from there. If you happen to be using a second linux computer with X running, I would also try to see whether the problem disappears, if X is running elsewhere. You either need to temporarily disable your firewall on the faulty machine or allow ssh access via the Yast/Security/Firewall settings. Do from an xterm on this second machine: 1. ssh -X username@faultymachines_ipaddress 2.a. firefox 2.b. konqueror sorry, I am running out of ideas. good luck Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Tried the ./mozilla renaming and the safe-mode. It both worked. When I googled for my error I found: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux-help/106449-firefox-crashing-sus... Reading this, I suddenly remembered (sorry!!) that I had installed a theme (Qute) in firefox. Deinstalling the theme , and the error is gone! So, thanks for your help!

I will look at your solutions asap.
