web browsers on AMD64
I just bought an AMD64 HP Pavilion and installed FreeBSD 6.2 AMD64 on
it. Most of my applications work but when I start Mozilla or Seamonkey,
nothing happens. I get no error messages. When I do a "which mozilla",
it shows the path to the program. I've installed the programs with
sysinstall and by compiling the port.
Any ideas why the programs don't start?

Try to run firefox the first time as root.
When firefox starts, fine.
Close firefox en run it again as user.

Thanks, that worked. After I ran it as root, I looked and my .Mozilla
directory was owned by root. I changed it back to my account and the
browser started fine.
