Package behaves the same as the port (I cimpiled after the package wouldn't work, no special options). I simply run firefox, nothing happens: $ which firefox /usr/X11R6/bin/firefox $ firefox $ No window, no process, nothing. But: /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/firefox-bin also exits, complaining about missing libmozjs.so (ldd show me that the library is in fact not found). libmozjs.so exists: /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/libmozjs.so But why does it work as root then (running the firefox-script, not firefox-bin directly)? -- Fridtjof Busse Fry: "Hey, you guys, the most amazing thing happened, it's two-for-one Tuesday at Krispy Kreme!
