Hi,

I used firefox on FC4 for some days and it worked great

I installed it with yum (the package firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4)

But now I had been settings some other color scheme for KDE i found on kde-look.org

Now for some reason all text in the menu's of firefox are not visible
I resetted the original color settings but it still stays the same ...

I removed firefox and installed a fresh copy but still no visible text. Firefox runs good but I just can't see any text in the menu's

Does anybody has an idea what is going on?

thx

whaaaaaaaaaa i'm getting crazy in here
Now i got the same problem with thunderbird ... :S
anybody knows what this problem could be?
So i can run firefox & thunderbird but i cant see any text (in menu's, buttons, ...)
I installed the RPM's for FC4 with yumm

thx

Try changing the theme if you are using one in firefox. If that fails then remove firefox, and the /home/username/.mozilla/firefox folder and reinstall.

hi

it doesn't work

I tried the version (installer) from mozilla.org and this works.
So there are only problems when i use the FC4 RPM of firefox and thunderbird

I think there is a library that causes problems
Does anybody knows how i can check for a RPM package wich other packages it depends on?

Try running firefox from the shell and see what the output says, may help to hunt down the problem.

hi

i think the skins have nothing to do with the problem. When i set tot normal skin the text is not visible too

Then i tried the start firefox from terminal, which doesnt write anything to the output
Then i tried running with:

$ firefox --g-fatal-warnings

Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)
aborting...
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/run-mozilla.sh: line 159: 3604 Traceer/breekpunt val "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Does anybody knows what this means and how i can solve it?

If i install firefox from the installer package (tar.gz) from the mozilla site, it runs fine
But when i use the RPM for FC4 i cant see any text on buttons and menu's. In the past this RPM did run well, but i had installed some new packages (development) which is probable not a good idea. After that the text disappeared. Now I want to find out on which RPM's the firefox RPM depends so I can reinstall the old packages. ISo i'm looking for a RPM command that gives me all the dependencies for the firefox RPM package. f anybody knows the warning above i would be happy to know
I like to use the FC4 RPMs because they run faster then the standard firefox installer

i hope someoby can help me with this
thx
