I've had it cause more problems with various Fedora versions that now I disable it. I'm not running a server, just a one user desktop, so two firewalls (router and system) and being careful has kept me uninfected since Fedora Core 3. > > Anyway, see if Firefox works. If not and since it apppears that your last update "broke" firefox, do a 'yum update' on both systems, then 'yum remove firefox', and after that completes, 'yum install firefox'. This should install any firefox dependencies. > > In my opinion, the easiest thing would be to do clean installs (no upgrade) of F12 on both systems from a newly downloaded, burned and checksummed DVD. Yes, it's a pain, but it will take less time than trying to find out what's currently the problem, and fixing it. Just back up your data, etc. before doing it. > > FWIW, I've always had problems with upgrading between versions even following the instructions explicitly.

If firefox works now, it was an SELinux issue. You could try # setsebool -P allow_execstack=1 It is probably needed, and see if fixes the issue. Also make sure you are totally yum updated yum -y update Once the machine is totally updated, if it still does not work with SELinux in enforcing mode, ping me. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
