Hi Nick,
My desktop icon works now. It still points to the /usr/bin/firefox
file. Looks like the rpm file has installed files in opt/MozillaFirefox

the installer is me - so for future reference, where should I have told
it to install (assuming I'm silly enough to try installing any software
manually again?). oh the joys of being near the bottom of the learning
curve... seeing i've managed to get thunderbird working "wrongly" like

Hi Paul, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "do you have a
preferences etc set for the non-root user ??"
There is no firefox or .firefox file or directory in /home/roger.

where did you install firefox from? the package should have made a menu
entry. click and drag it onto the desktop.
If that doesn't work open a terminal and type "firefox" then press

If that produces an error report it back.
