Problem with Firefox in SUSE
Hi all,
I've got a problem using Firefox in Open SUSE 10.1. I can't do the following:-
send Gmail emails
perform a search using Firefox's search bar
add things to basket in various sites
post messages to this forum - am using FC5 instead!!!!
I've read that there's a problem with IP6v and Mozilla, so I've edited my /etc/modprob.conf to have the following:-
alias net-pf-10 ipv6
install ipv6 /bin/true
and I've rebooted, but still no joy.
I also run FC5 on the same machine and it can do the above without a hitch.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Cheers, Steve.

Run firefox from the command line to see if you're getting any errors.

Hi,
I ran Firefox from the command line, but I didn't get any messages when doing the steps in my original message.
And to answer vegetassj2's question... I've been using FC for a while now with no real complaints, but I've had a couple of frustrating problems recently (couldn't install IBM's WSAD and had a nightmare using Yum Extender) so I thought I'd try SUSE instead.
Thanks, Steve.

Some of those problems seem like they might be problems with java scripts. Take a look under preferences and content to see if these are unchecked.
