firefox doesn't work on amd64

[A Dude]

I did some more testing. I reloaded my box and started windowmaker.
tried to load firefox from an rxvt term. A window never came up but it
was listed in top.
exited from wm and "su -" to root, startx and typed firefox. It worked
as planned. closed and exited from xwindows and as su.
started wmaker again and then I could start firefox as planned. So
something isn't right.
