i apologize profusely for what is more a firefox question than a fedora question, but i'm stumped here. on my current (up to date) 32-bit f8 system on my gateway laptop, i went here: http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html to download google earth, got the license text, pressed "Agree and Download" and ... nothing. no dialog box about Save or Open, no switching URL, no response at all. press, press, press ... nothing, nothing, nothing. i tried the same thing on another laptop running 64-bit f8, and everything worked fine -- when i selected "Agree and Download", firefox switched to the page http://earth.google.com/tour/thanks-linux4.html and asked where i wanted the download, etc. downloaded, installed, ran ... all good. i can only imagine that there's some config setting in that first firefox that's mucking things up but, for the life of me, i don't see what it is. i've compared the two FF configs side by side, popup windows appear to be allowed, cookies from google allowed, etc, etc. help? i figure that, if i answer three questions on this ML, i get to ask a really dumb one in exchange. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
