Hi Guys,

Reinstalled again: got this error:

(firefox-bin:4350): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Could not create per-user

It doesn't show on the menu and the icon is not in the tray. However, if
I navigate to it's directory /pete/firefox/ and click on the firefox
simlink it starts and runs fine.

How can I get it back in the menu and get the icon onto the tray?
