ls -l /usr/bin/firefox* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2009-09-10 19:52 /usr/bin/firefox -> firefox-3.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2009-09-16 11:59 /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 -> firefox3.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-09-13 17:09 /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 -> ../lib/firefox-3.5.3/firefox.sh does that mean anything? I still cant get a url to open in firefox though, the only way it will open is by copying and pasting, it should work, so I dont know why it doesnt.
