Firefox-1.5.0.1 not starting after successfull instalation

[Vladis]

Hi,

I start it from xterm:

# pwd
# /usr/X11R6/bin
# firefox
#

I'm getting no error message at all. I just type "firefox", then after 1 or
2 seconds it returns to the prompt and that's it...
I'm logged in as root. But I also tried it as other user and it doesn't work
as well.

Vlado
