So, you're using it too, presumably from the same source as Gene's?
Does firefox work for you?
For some limited definition of 'work' it does. My primary browser SeaMonkey isn't
loaded with the usability regressions of recent years of Firefox. Palemoon retains
a better UI:

Do you have any insight into why Gene is getting errors containing
/opt/trinity/ paths from Firefox/dconf?
Unless his Coyote machine is running one of his special RTC kernels that the
weight of a web browser wants to overpower, I have virtually no idea. I don't use
distro packages of Mozilla products very much. Mostly I use mozilla.org binaries,
and choose update timing as I see fit. I don't use or understand Gnome or its
foundations any more than Gimp and Mozilla products force me to, so to me gconf
error messages mean nothing other than something other than the web pages he wants
to use is probably corrupt. :(

The voluminous verbiage of his threads makes it hard to pick up missed pieces. Has
he been switching among various newer and older Firefox versions? I know at times
Firefox has made changes in profile structure that impede successfully switching
back to an older version once a profile has been used with a newer version
incorporating such a change.

In Gene's original post he said FF wasn't working with Walmart's search function.  Maybe Walmart's search function was temporarily down when Gene tried it.  Has it been tried again?

Best regards,
Fred
