Why? I am using konqueror and recently got opera and both are working beautifully as of right now. I started firefox from command line and I got /usr/lib64/firefox-3.1b3/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 3204 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"} I tried in safe-mode and the machine froze. Two times already. I won't even bother testing another time. There has to be something wrong. I have ati radeon driver and it is OK I believe. Why does opera work and konqueror but not firefox?
