Subject:   Problems with Firefox and Arora

I have been using Arora the Qt4 web kit browser under ecs 2 for a while 
now as it is fairly stable.  However I have run into a probelm recently 
where I now cannot run any versions of Firefox - they simply crash after 
starting up.  I wonder if it is a problem with the profiles? or a clash 
with a dll?

anyone else have this problem?

Really? Albeit all requested files had been installed Arora just flashes 
and dies here. It would be nice to be able to find some clue somewhere .....

I suggest you use run!.exe to run firefox, that creates a strictlibpath 
to isolate DLLs.

Thanks Ed

I forgot to mention that it also happens with the run!.exe.  I 
re-installed the gcc & libc dlls thinking it was a conflict but to no 
avail??

I am wondering  if it is a profiles conflict I wonder of Arora uses the 
firefox profile directory?

Hi - I tried the latest drop which is packaged as a wpi file - you need 
the latest Qt4 drop as well.  Generally I find the  qt4 apps  available 
really good quality and spread of choice.
