I usually use Firefox to browse the web, these days. However, my new install of SUSE 9.1 seems to have broken it.
Initially, all was well (other than the font problem I've mentioned in another thread). Then, I tried to install a new extension (the Mouse Gestures extension). This wouldn't install when I tried as a user (no permissions to write to the install location) so I did it as root. However, as soon as I'd done this, I was unable subsequently to run firefox either as root or as a user. Deleting my ~/.phoenix directory made no difference, and nor did uninstalling firefox, deleting the /opt/MozillaFirefox directory and reinstalling.
Where else might something have gone wrong?
No place that I can think of. But if you run firefox from the command line, perhaps it will give you some revealing error messages. If it doesn't, you could do strace -f -F /opt/MozillaFirefox/firefox > firefox.strace 2>&1 and put it someplace accessible, that just might have some clues
