I like the browser and it is fast but it has some conflict with my TV card in my pc , causes the screen not to come up . As soon as I close it everything is ok , don't know what the conflict would be . If I don't have the TV on there is no problem but I use it quite a bit .

report to Mozilla's Bugzilla? with the detail of your TV card would be great.

I cannot get Firefox to load in Linux (SuSE 9.0). The instructions state to run the file "firefox", when this is done, nothing happens. The animated cursor appears as expected, then stops/dissappears after several seconds.

Two different downloads on different evenings, same result.

I've been using the 0.8 release on SuSE 9.0 until a few mins ago, when I actually did an updated CVS build. Not a problem.

I installed it on my dual-boot system this time, extracted the .GZ into the specified directory, ran "firefox" and received the same results as above. Launching Konqueror and clicking "firefox" from that same directory, also did nothing on both systems.

Total of three downloads, on two different systems running SuSE 9.0, and it doesn't run at all on either system.

Sorry.

Try the following as root:

* Extract to [tt]/opt/firefox[/tt]
* [tt]cd /usr/X11R6/bin[/tt]
* [tt]ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox[/tt]
* [tt]ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/X11R6/bin/MozillaFirebird[/tt]

The last one is to fool apps such as X-Chat 2.0.7 that know about Firebird, and not Firefox.

I've already deleted the directories on both systems where Firefox was "installed", I'd rather not try it a third time.

I went so far as to name the directory something different, i.e. username/newbrowser/firefox (all files went here), still nothing...

I do not install anything under root on either system though.

Well, I told you how to make it work correctly, system-wide. Don't blame me when it doesn't work when you don't do what I suggest...

(oh, and it is always [tt]./firefox[/tt] if you're in the directory that contains it)

Not blaming you.

The above did not work from the desktop pointing to /path/firefox/./firefox

Probably because of this error when I ran ./firefox via the console window:

firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 451: 3411 Illegal instruction "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

firefox works great, wish that it was on all computers, unlike this one, unfortunately.

Although the new Aqua features for Mac OS X look great... I still don't really see any reason to use it over Camino. Can someone tell me... does the rendering engine now have the Aqua feel (like Camino does), or does it still have the Windows-like feel, similar to Netscape 7 on Mac OS X.


Forum buttons still look like they're in Windows 98. However, there are some reasons:
* Extensions
* More web developer features
* More Preferences.

I find that fiefox doesn't have quite as many options as Netscape 7.02
