I usually put plugins in ~/.mozilla/plugins but there are other system plugin directories (/usr/lib/firefox/plugins, /usr/lib64/firefox/plugins, /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and maybe more). Temporarily removing plugins (except libnullplugin.so) from those directories might solve the problem. Other than that, I would try fishing around for more information. Are there two conflicting versions? Try 'rpm -qa' | grep firefox'. Is the installation corrupt? Try 'rpm -V firefox'. Is there another executable? Try and see whether cd '~;/usr/bin/firefox' gives a different result from 'cd ~;firefox'. I hate to say this, but I wonder whether the rpm version we are using has most of the error messages turned off. I know I get fewer errors from this version, but maybe that is not entirely due to improvements in the compilation. Failing silently is not very useful. I assume that your problem can fixed, since I have this same RPM running in FC2, x86_64 on my machine. However, besides plugins I am not sure what else could be the problem. Maybe Justin Forbes is better placed to help. He authored the FC2 86_64 FAQ http://www.linuxtx.org/amd64faq.html and some useful posts on this list and he is probably the one who created the firefox RPM we are using. -- Phil
