Red Hat 8.0 Mozilla issue

[kuyaglen]

First problem of many...

On a fresh install (checked the everything box) of Red Hat 8.0
I cant seem to get Mozilla to stay open.
I can connect to the net, ping and ftp, but when Mozilla loads
up (blank page) and I enter in a URL or "g" (for google) or
starts to get data from a web site, it closes.

It might be a security issue. The firewall is set to "HIGH", but
when I try to change it and click on the yes button, mozilla still
acts the same and checking the security level setting, its back on
HIGH

I'm logged in as root, same happens when I made a new user.


-Any help is much appreciated.
-Thank You

Give Galeon a try and see how that works It might already be installed as it uses the Mozilla engine.

Well I typed galeon in the terminal and then it proceeded to setup.
Then it closed and in the termina it says:

Warning: could not load bookmarks!
Gdk-Error: BadWindow (invalid Window paramater)
serial 16524 error_code 3 request_code 2 minor_code 0
Gdk-Error: BadWindow (invalid Window paramater)
serial 16524 error_code 3 request_code 61 minor_code 0


incidently, I typed in the terminal window: mozilla www.glencastillo.com
and got this error message:

Gdk-Error: BadWindow (invalid Window paramater)
serial 7580 error_code 3 request_code 2 minor_code 0

-hmmm

Google gives me this thread. See if that helps. Turned up some other hits too, but that one was the first on an RH 8 list.

How did it do it? I have the same problem and the link doesn't give a solution.

Man this is a bug. I read that this problem with Mozilla and RH8 will happen if you change your desktop theme to anything other than Bluecurve. So I changed mine back and problem solved.
