In any case you must not run firefox-bin directly because it won't use the right libraries. Also, check that you don't have a firefox already running (maybe hidden), otherwise when you run a second instance, it will send a message to the old one and exit silently (IIRC). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
