(and perhaps get back to pkg_security :) No, I didn't run it as root - never ever. I don't run programs as root, and I didn't run it on my home computer (and on other laptop I had) as root. As I stated, it was a fresh install, so no .mozilla directory was there. I suspect that it IS some sort of compiler bug. I'll rebuild it and send details, hopefully later today. --Roman Shterenzon, UNIX System Administrator and Consultant [ Xpert UNIX Systems Ltd., Herzlia, Israel.
