FireFox installation problem


I just installed FireFox 0.9.1 with no problems on my Win XP Laptop. I "installed" the Linux version on my SuSE 9.0 box, but when I tried to run it, I got the following:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client!

(firefox-bin:6861): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

When I have received output such as this before it has been because I was trying to run an X program from the command line while su'd to root. So when I got this, I logged out as user, logged in as root, and got the same output.

Any clues or pointers will be appreciated.

Thank you! That was just what I needed. Now I suppose I should bone up on what xhost does, since there seems to be a security issue with it. (This reply posted from my new Linux Firefox!) Thanks again
