The situation is that we install FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE onto st= andard Intel workstation hardware. We then add about 400 packages to the sy= stem. On top of that, we then add firefox. Everything works great in the system, even firefox ... that is until you tr= y and use the address bar in Firefox to enter a URL. Pressing ENTER has no = effect. Neither does clicking the green arrow to the right of the URL in th= e address bar. Meanwhile, requesting firefox to visit a URL via the command= -line works just fine. Clicking through pages and navigating links also wor= ks fine. The entire system is functional with except to the URL address bar= in Firefox. We then set up a second machine (also workstation-class hardware, though mu= ch newer). Same thing. System works superbly, with exception to firefox's a= ddress bar. Co-workers and I are scratching our head over why this is happening. We've tried both firefox-3.6 and firefox-3.5 from the FTP archives. We've a= lways installed every dependency. Both browser versions have the same probl= em. Both machines have the same problem. Specifically speaking, we've tried these two packages: ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/8.1-RELEASE/package= s/All/firefox-3.6.4,1.tbz ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/8.1-RELEASE/package= s/All/firefox-3.5.10,1.tbz --=20 Cheers, Devin Teske -> CONTACT INFORMATION <- Business Solutions Consultant II FIS - fisglobal.com 510-735-5650 Mobile 510-621-2038 Office 510-621-2020 Office Fax 909-477-4578 Home/Fax devin.teske@fisglobal.com -> LEGAL DISCLAIMER <- This message contains confidential and proprietary information of the sender, and is intended only for the person(s) to whom it is addressed.
