Well, if you installed via the or yum groupinstall the web
browser should point to 'midori'.
Xfce spin maybe; I don't recall. Not yum groupinstall, anyway.
But it has been a long fight (see elsewhere on this list) between Firefox
(which I kept getting) and Dillo (which I wanted).
Try running it from a terminal? Is there any error output?

None of that tells me anything; I hope it does you.
