I think you need to tell us something more about your environment, about which so far we know nothing at all. Please state: 1) Fedora version 2) Desktop environment (Gnome, KDE, other) 3) Desktop theme (because the error refers to a problem with colours or fonts) 4) Whether previous versions of Firefox have worked correctly, e.g. FF 2. 5) How you installed FF. For example, /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox is not a standard directory under the Fedora 9 yum installation of FF. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
