Yes indeed.  It's just as important in asking for help here as it is in 
writing fiction to be sure you show, don't tell.

You are communicating with fedora directly.  Everyone on this mailing list is
"Fedora".

Can we assume that you've enabled and started the mysqld.service using systemctl ?

Are you aware that there is no password in the initial startup?

As root did you do this....to show there is no password?

[root@f17x ~]# mysqladmin status
Uptime: 3861  Threads: 2  Questions: 52  Slow queries: 0  Opens: 33  Flush tables: 1  Open
tables: 26  Queries per second avg: 0.013

Then did you do this?

[root@f17x ~]# mysqladmin password
New password: whatever
Confirm new password: whatever

And your error message was????

What is the exact error message?  I'm not familiar with mysql, but it 
might tell somebody else exactly what's wrong.

FWIW, on this list you should just "ask your question".   Since you seem to have
2 distinct issues, you would be better served to create 2 distinct threads by sending 2
separate emails.  One about the firefox issue and one about the mysql issue.  Otherwise,
things can get confusing quickly.

When you phrase your question, it is best to include relevant error messages in detail. 
For example, in the case of mysql you should copy/paste the procedure you are using. 
Others may disagree, but I've found that showing what one is doing is better than
describing what one is doing.  :-)

So, just ask away.  If you get silence in response, then folks don't have an idea. 
Or, it is a very nice weekend where they are and they are out enjoying themselves....or
watching the Olympics.....  In other words, don't expect immediate attention.  :-) :-)

There isn't any information why firefox crashed. But if you have
configured the network and can access the internet, update firefox to
the latest version using the command:

# yum update firefox

In case you have not set the mysql password so far use the following command:

# mysqladmin -u root -p PASSWORD

where PASSWORD is the password you want to set for mysql

Also run

# mysqladmin -u root -h HOSTNAME -p PASSWORD

where HOSTNAME is your system's hostname
