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

[Gerwin Krist -|- Digitalus Webhosting]

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 :)
