Suse 10.2 Firefox 2.0 Can't browse

[thedatawarehouse]

Hi,

I have 10.0 suse and made it work in virtual pc '07. Problem now is I can't make it work with Suse 10.2 still in virtual pc '07. My Konqueror works though.

best regards,

in the web address bit and disable ip6

Oh yeah I tried that too. Didn't work. I can browse local intranet sites though

Whoa wait a minute! It works at my home pc but not at work pc. I didn't even have to disable ipv6

is it the same when you login as different user or root

if such is the case their may be problem with firefox configuration files

Thank your replying abhishek. I didn't try root yet but everything is like fresh install. The firefox came with Suse. I tried removing it and downloading but still it wont work. I did notice the configuration was somehow retained when I did a remove and install.

I am not sure if it will work but try to move ~/.mozilla folder.
Close Firefox and execute this:

mv ~/.mozilla  ~/Mozilla.bak

Run Firefox again.

ok thank you devils_casper I will try that in 20 hours. That will make firefox think It has no config and so it will re-create it right?

Yes. FireFox will create new .mozilla folder.

I found a way around the problem. I'm sorry for the time wasted. I noticed in the KNetworkManger applet that I was using wireless. Weird thing, is I know I don't have wireless on teh desktop I am using. I disabled the wireless network, and enabled the wired network, restarted now I can browse with both konqueror and firefox even with ipv6 enabled.

Happy computing to all. Thanks to those who looked into the problem
