Firefox install error, but it still works


Hello, newbie here!
I installed firefox using tar -xzvf firefox-1.0.installer.tar.gz and got the following error:

> *** nsExtensionManager::_disableObsoleteExtensions - failure, catching exception so finalize window can close
*** loading the extensions datasource
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client!
(firefox-bin:4996): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

The funny thing is it still works, although it seems to take a while to load. Does anyone know if something won't work using firefox because of this error?

Thanks

I think you will get some display problem some
days.
But do not worry about this, I 've see many program work although they make some problem while installing

So far I haven't seen anything strange. I just realised I wasn't in su mode, would that make a difference?
