If you attempt to start Seamonkey (not tested with Firefix) from Xfce, it will work only from the second try, unless you registered the shrome by starting Seamonkey once as root, or by running this as root: MFH=/usr/lib/seamonkey MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=$MFH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MFH $MFH/regxpcom MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=$MFH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MFH $MFH/regchrome So the book should be updated. The fact that one can't automate Firefox build using only the book's instructions is a bug. -- Alexander E.
