If you're going to install the new firefox-0.9 update, there's something
important you should know. You MUST run firefox as root before running
it as any other user. The best way to do this is to su - to root or log
in as root (i.e. do not su -m to root). After becoming root, simply run
``firefox''. You can then quit the browser, then run it as any other
user. If you do not run firefox as root first, the browser window will
not appear.
This is a known issue with 0.9. See the Known Issues list at:

(it's the first one)
