User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9 After using the installer from firefox-0.9-i686-linux-gtk2+xft-installer.tar.gz as root to attempt a system-wide install, FF hangs when an ordinary user tries to manage either Saved Passwords or Certificates. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. run firefox-installer as root to install into /usr/lib/firefox-0.9/ 1. as ordinary user, execute /usr/lib/firefox-0.9//usr/lib/firefox-0.9/firefox 2. (If this is first run, choose import and import bookmarks, saved passwords, and everything else from Mozilla 1.x) 3. Open Edit>Preferences>Advanced and try to use either Manage Saved Passwords or Certificates Actual Results: Hang Expected Results: A further panel for managing whatever appears I tend to believe that this is because the installer is not suited to multi-user installs, not least since the firefox-installer script is larder with (eeew!) windows-ism, and its UI uses windows-speak.
Upon further investigation, this seems to be unrelated to the installer and, moreover, only applies to the management of certificates. My apologies for the initial mis-report. I hop bugzilla will accept my re-classification.
