Hi, and thanks for your reply
I started a new thread in the general applications forum, since the library
dependency got solved by (it seems) renaminig .mozilla/.
The strange thing that persists though is that the firefox.sh script
won't launch Firefox, UNTIL I run firefox-bin _once_. After that firefox.sh
runs ok, but Firefox started from the shell script still won't play realmedia

Thanks for this tip, but all the settings look the same whether I run
firefox.sh of firefox-bin; realplayer still won't play with firefox.sh.
Very strange.

I think I'll change all my icons to link to firefox-bin instead (and wait
for 10.3 even more eagerly) .
