Doug,

I had a 7.0-BETA2 system on a laptop for a few days and recall having a 
similar sounding problem with both firefox and firefox-devel.  IIRC, it 
turned out to be a dependency which was somehow missed in my rather 
minimal installation.  It was a few weeks back and my brain is a bit 
full, but you might see if something is lacking in the results of a "ldd 
/usr/local/lib/firefox/firefox-bin".

Cheers,

Mike.
