I just installed FreeBSD 5.4RC, everything works so fine.
Just firefox won't work (running xfce), neither the package nor the
port. I can only start it as root, under a normal user nothing
happens at all. /usr/X11R6/bin/firefox quits after a second and no
firefox. How can I fix this?
Thanks.


At a guess, you may have created some configuration files owned by
root the first time you started it. Try hunting them down and
deleting them, and start firefox from a user account again.



At first run, I tried to start firefox under the local user of course. When that wouldn't work , I searched Google and found an old bug about similiar behavior that suggested running firefox as root the first time. Didn't help, so I'm stuck since it's uite some time I used FreeBSD.



Also try running firefox from a command line in an xterm, if you
haven't already done so, and see if there are any helpful error
messages.



I'm starting it from commandline. It doesn't print any errors and exits
after a second.
Under root, it starts and gives me debugging messages.




Does it do a core dump? What options did you use to compile? Are your dependancies out of date? There was just a big gnome update, see freebsd.org/gnome for an update script.
