    Maybe this might help?
    Code:
    sudo chown -R bootdoc:bootdoc /home/bootdoc/.mozilla
    If that doesn't work, can you post the output of this terminal command?
    Code:
    firefox
    Linux is ready for the desktop--but whose desktop?<br />How to install software in Kubuntu

          Thanks for the help! I finally had to reinstall because of other more severe problems with the dcopserver and x crashing. Back to kde 3.5.3 until 3.5.4 is more stable.
