Firefox doesn't run in F10-KDE4.185 Live

[linux guy]

Firefox doesn't run in F10-KDE4.185 Live on my machine.

If I run it from the command line, it immediately exits without any output.

# yum install firefox

The good news is that Konqueror can now access gmail !  Now if only we
could get it to view youtube videos again.

Hi,

Sorry but I can't see what the role of kde is in your problem on first 
sight. Firefox is using the GTK toolkit. Maybe you are using
this firefox plugins which skins firefox to make it look like a native 
Qt program? This is the only thing I could think of. Else I would
submit a bug on the redhat bugzilla :)

a) I have no idea who monitors this mailing list.  I'm not saying this
is KDE's fault.

b) I can't really report this anywhere else because its not an official release.

I have no idea.

I am not sure it would receive any attention there.
