Second, there are known issues with Firefox and linuxpluginwrapper. If you have lpw installed, you will see: firefox-bin: Fatal IO error 78 (Function not implemented) on X server :0.0. When you start Firefox 1.0PR for the first time. Subsequent invocations should be okay. However, for best operation, you are encouraged to uninstall this plug-in, upgrade to 1.0PR, and start the browser once.=20 Afterward, you can reinstall the plug-in. This isn't necessary, though. You can simply follow the instructions in UPDATING, then start Firefox twice. The second time, and all subsequent times, it should start up just fine. I have not found any reliable workaround for the unimplemented X function except for temporarily disabling lpw. Adding 127.0.0.1 to the xhost database does not fix the problem.
