I don't know whether anyone has found a workaround, but watch out for the most recent version of MozillaFirefox from SuSe - 0.9.1.
It says that to get it working you must first fire it up as root. Alas, if I try to do that off the console, I get [...] If I actually log in as root on KDE (not advised), I can start Firefox OK. But when I log out and back in again as an ordinary user, then I can't start Firefox as an ordinary user, since I now get the same message as root used to get above.
I really really really really wish SuSE would test this stuff a bit more before putting it on their ftp servers, or post a readme explaining how to get round this little circular argument.

Mark, This is not a SuSE problem and it's been discussed here already. There is a bug in the 0.9.x Firefox that causes this problem. Not easily fixed and certainly not by SuSE. You can check the archives for answers to this perplexing anomaly or you can do this! ;o) Open a shell as user and issue this command: xhost +local: then run firefox from shell it should open and once it does, close it down do: xhost -local: (to close this down) Now you should be able to run firefox from the shell or icon.
