Considering that mozilla worked normally on those pages prior to installing FC2, I suspect that something in the update process removed them... Making a symlink from the new file name to the old seems to have fixed the problem... I hope there aren't more similar surprises waiting for me... By the way, is there an equivillent of the redhat-mouse-config program in FC2? I used that as a hack of sorts to allow me to reinitialize my mouse after switching to a different computer on my kvm switch. I haven't been able to find anything similar though. Thanks again!
