Last time I tried running the firefox installer from x86_64, it segfaulted on me. I guess they have fixed whatever was wrong, then. > Firefox is running fine except that it won't install plugins.

I'm using the FC3 rpm: $ rpm -q firefox firefox-1.0-2.fc3 $ yum info firefox Installed Packages Name : firefox Arch : i386 Version: 1.0 Release: 2.fc3 Size : 21 M Repo : installed Summary: Mozilla Firefox Web browser. > I've run firefox from the command line and there are no error messages. > > Any idea how to fix this? Try unistalling the version from the installer and install the rpm with: yum install firefox.i386 Maybe that will work better for you. It seems to work just fine for me. Flash and Java work too. > Frank. Jonathan
