Well I'm not getting the getcwd error anymore. Now when I run firefox it
just returns without doing anything:
[cyrus@teddy cyrus]$ firefox
[cyrus@teddy cyrus]$ firefox
[cyrus@teddy cyrus]$ ps -A | grep firefox
[cyrus@teddy cyrus]$
Nothing happens. No windows, no error messages...

This is very strange. Are you running from a directory that has been deleted?
Try 'man getcwd' to learn more about getcwd; it is a function that returns the
current working directory.
The /usr/bin/firefox script is set up for sh instead of bash...
would that make a difference?
It shouldn't; this is normal, in fact /bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash
Do I have the 64-bit sh installed which is
causing the 32-bit firefox to die?
This is not an issue, since sh and firefox are not being linked together as
binaries. In fact, the OS is designed to run both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries.
Just in case it is a working directory problem, I suggest trying
cd ~
firefox
to see if the problem is the same.
