--=-JbGOo9h/aN2R5LKHhjf1 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable If you're going to install the new firefox-0.9 update, there's something important you should know. You MUST run firefox as root before running it as any other user. The best way to do this is to su - to root or log in as root (i.e. do not su -m to root). After becoming root, simply run ``firefox''. You can then quit the browser, then run it as any other user. If you do not run firefox as root first, the browser window will not appear. This is a known issue with 0.9.
