firefox 3.6 problems

I face the following issues with firefox 3.6.3:

When I select preferences from the Edit menu, an empty box appears. Also when I click About Mozilla Firefox from the Help menu, nothing happens. From the error console I get these respective messages:

Error: no element found
Source File: jar:file:///usr/lib/firefox/chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global/bindings/preferences-kde.xml
Line: 1

Error: no element found
Source File: jar:file:///usr/lib/firefox/chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global/bindings/dialog-kde.xml
Line: 1

As far as I can understand it has to do with the KDE, note that java works properly, tested at java.com. I use openSUSE 11.1

Thank you in advance

Appears to be missing plug-ins. Have you tried to do an update?

This problem might be related to Firefox add-on themes. Did you have a chrome theme installed by chance? I would replace my current theme in case your old one is not compatible with Firefox 3.6.3.

Thank You,

I did not use any theme. The add-ons seem to work as java works and flash-player too. The problem is that if i want to install a new add-on, it remains forever in connecting state. I cannot change this behavior, since in preferences option nothing is displayed.

thank you for your time

Have you tried if the problem persists if you use fresh Firefox configs, for instance by renaming the hidden folder “.mozilla” to something else?

Has anyone figured out a solution to this problem yet? I’m suffering the same fate. I checked the .jar file mentioned and located the .xml files except they’re all named without the ‘-kde’ extension. So I have “dialog.xml” but not “dialog-kde.xml”. There must be a way to configure firefox to use the correct .xmls.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
