Post subject:  need help troubleshooting firefox installation R6 (solved)

I just installed a fresh R6. Most everything seems to work fine, but I can't figure out why I cannot get firefox to work.

I followed the directions below from here

Quote:
Install firefox and flash:
Code:

pacman -S firefox
pacman -S flashplugin


Create a menu entry for Firefox in the Online Streams submenu:
Update /usr/share/mythtv/is.xml with the following:
Code:
<!--#Firefox-->
<button>
<type>STREAM</type>
<text>Firefox</text>
<action>EXEC /usr/bin/Firefox</action>
</button>
<!--#Firefox-->


Restart X and the new menu for Firefox should now be listed. Fire it up.


But when I tried to "fire it up" I clicked on the "Firefox" button, but nothing happened. Where do I go to start troubleshooting this?

dmesg?

Check your case.

Code:
[xxx@mythtv ~]$ which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox


Just as I thought - typo in the original post. Should be /usr/bin/firefox with a lowercase f.

If that still doesn't work, start it from the command line and see what it says.
