I am not sure why FireFox quit working like that. When I created the new glib for my box I was still running mozilla 5.0 and didn't have any trouble with it. I wonder if it has something to do with gtk+. I am running FireFox 1.5.0.6 that I downloaded the tarball and compiled. Let me know if you figure this out. -- Michael Hughes Log Home living is the best mdh7@earthlink.net Temperatures: Outside: 65.4 House: 72.1 Computer room: 71.1
