OK. Logged in as the new user 'fftest' and visited the site: worked without a hitch.
So this would suggest it's some fault within ~/.mozilla/firefox . I am slightly confused, though. I thought I had tried this through FF-removal / paving-FF-home / reinstallation . So this morning I attempted to just pave the ~/.mozilla/firefox folder totally (after saving it as a tarball) -- same result. Urgh. I've also discovered that FF dies on a related site : scp.indiegames.us -- could it have something to do with both sites being oriented to IE ? ---- I can't seem to recompile the source as the very latest version -- 1.5.0.2 -- isn't actually up yet (the orig.tar.bz2 file is only a stub, and from the source page it's not boiled through to unstable yet on acct of dependencies) Should I recompile 1.5.0.1 anyways? Or should I try to compile a src-only version of the original tarball from FF/Mozilla directly? --- Thank you again for your help Mass On 4/22/06, Massimo Savino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Justin > > I'll try the new user option first, then recompile, then report back. > > Thank you very much and kind regards > Mass > > > > On 4/22/06, Justin Pryzby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On Sat, Apr 22, 2006 at 11:24:54AM -0400, Massimo Savino wrote: > > > Hi guys, > > > > > > Hope this isn't too intrusive.
