probably a waste of time but if he wants to report, he may find out the problem.
Most distributions tie in a specific version of FF because there are
other dependencies, perhaps pango, xulrunner, etc. - so it's not always
just a case of build the single package.
Most problems with FF seem to be caused by the proliferation of
'add-ons' or 'plugins' which are of various quality and various
compatibility levels between FF2 and FF3 so it becomes a track down job.
Generally the simplest thing to do to have a working FF is to use the
one that is packaged with the Linux distribution that you are using and
I suspect that by various things that Joseph has stated, that whatever
he is using is somewhat older.
