I figure I can't be the only one with this problem but I can't seem to find any answers.
I'm running 9.2 with all of the YOU updates.
You're not the only one running into problems with Mozilla or Firefox. I personally rolled back to the last patch and I'm ignoring the red exclamation point right now, weighing whether I need to think about switching to another distribution. For now, I'm waiting this out to see how long it's going to take SuSE to get a decent set of RPMs into YOU to fix this. I hope it's sometime soon. I don't want to run Firefox insecure, but I also need to be able to run it.

Doesn't take much to get you to quit, does it??
As I said earlier, I pay SuSE so I can run services like YOU. If YOU isn't functioning, SuSE becomes less valuable to me as a distro.
No problems here with stock firefox 1.0.3 from the mozilla site.
I've had problems with the stock firefox from SuSE's ftp server. It gave me problems as well. Haven't tried the stock Firefox, but then I was trying to keep YOU in order.
Does everything you do have to come from SuSE?
Of course not. However, why bother buying SuSE if YOU doesn't work? I've explained the reasons why I use SuSE over and over again. Do I need to explain it again? Apparently. I use SuSE because it's a well built, well tested distro. I just want to work, not have to worry about updates. So I gladly fork over the $80 (now $90) nearly every release so that I don't have to think about updates or where to get them from. Of course I get my multimedia and DVD apps, Java, Mono, etc. from other places. I just like to stick to SuSE produced RPMs as much as possible, generally. Otherwise, why not run my own distro. I've put together Linux
From Scratch before. So I'd have no problem running Fedora, Gentoo, or any number of distros. I choose SuSE because of its quality and the security updates.
Sorry for the rant but I've about had it with your firefox/mozilla problems...
"Had it"? I'm confused. Honestly. Preston
